Want to help Sweden get rid of Skåne

Give us Scania!
So reads a Danish demand signed “Warrior of Jutland”.
– This was actually one of the strangest we received, says Johan Linander, head of office at Tomelilla municipality.

It is in a letter to all Scanian municipalities that the signature “Jutland warrior” has offered to free Scania from Sweden and simply let Scania become Danish.

Johan Linander, head of office at Tomelilla municipality, tells about how they reacted when they had to receive the mysterious demand.

– We get a little odd and more joking letters from time to time. This was actually one of the strangest we received, he says in Efter fem.

The presenters Axel Pileby and Henrik Alsterdal ask Johan Linander if he isn’t a bit keen and take the step over anyway.

– No. We are still so close. Just take the train over the bridge and you’re in Copenhagen. So I think we will remain in Sweden for a while at least. There is a feeling of the continent throughout Scania. So we don’t have to become Danes for the sake of it, he says.

Axel Pileby, who is himself a proud Scanian, mentions the Danish sporting successes as a possible plus factor.

– Then we would have been able to take part in the football EC as well. So it would have been something positive, Johan Linander says with a laugh.

The theory: Too many Tuborgs

But who is this or these “Warriors of Jutland”?

Tomelilla’s chancellor believes he has an idea of ​​the truth behind the letter.

– I’ve tried googling a bit but couldn’t find who it is. I suspect that there are some Danes who have taken a little too much Tuborg one evening and thought this was fun, he says.
