In the Danish city of Kolding, voters are worried about rising prices, the welfare state and immigration ahead of the country's general election, reflecting nationwide concerns reinforced by worries about Greenland and global uncertainty.
Kolding -- Denmark's eighth biggest city with 64,000 inhabitants -- lies at the intersection of the main road and rail routes linking Jutland, the continental part of Denmark, to the eastern islands where Copenhagen is located.
