Borgen - Riget, Magten og Æren - Season 1

Birgitte Nyborg is newly appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs when oil is suddenly found in Greenland. But Nyborg was elected on a green agenda, and for her there is no doubt that the oil project must be shut down as soon as possible. But voices in Greenland - led by Greenlandic minister Hans Eliassen - take a very different view.

Birgitte Nyborg receives crucial information about the Russian owners of the company, which drills for oil in Greenland. Asger Holm Kirkegaard, who is now on Greenlandic soil, tries to help his minister at the same time as he tries to keep Hans Eliassen in check. Nyborg is called to the Foreign Policy Board, and to help a close ally, Nyborg decides to use a daring tactic, which, however, turns out to have greater consequences than she could have ever imagined.

According to her statements in the Foreign Policy Board, Birgitte Nyborg is threatened by a vote of no confidence, and when one of the North Atlantic Parliament's North Atlantic mandates expires, the government's majority begins to crumble. Nyborg now has two options.

In the negotiations with Greenland regarding the distribution of oil revenues, Asger Holm Kirkegaard must play Birgitte Nyborg on the field, but the negotiation meeting with Nyborg is far from going as planned.

The Chinese delegation is making plans for oil extraction directly with the Greenlanders. Birgitte Nyborg's change of attitude has left her without many political friends, and she is now also called to a meeting with the American.

The government is celebrating its first 100 days in power, but at the same time the unrest in New Democrats is rising. The Sirius Patrol is sent off to investigate a crashed drone, and suddenly they face unknown soldiers.

The unrest in the New Democrats continues to rise, but Birgitte Nyborg stubbornly insists on supporting the government's policy of advocating the exploitation of Greenlandic oil.

The decisive battle for the kingdom, power and honor must stand, and Birgitte Nyborg faces the biggest political challenge in her career, as she is challenged for the chairmanship of New Democrats.
