In Greenland's recent elections, the liberal party Demokraatit triumphed with approximately 30% of the vote, eclipsing previous electoral results. Led by Jens-Frederik Nielsen, this outcome highlights a shift towards independence from Denmark. The second party, Naleraq, promotes immediate self-determination. In contrast, other parties, like the current coalition, lost significant support. U.S. President Donald Trump's annexation threats have cast a spotlight on Greenland's strategic importance, with five out of six parties backing independence, albeit with varied approaches to its realization, following the guidelines established in the 2009 Statute of Autonomy.
Demokraatit's unexpected electoral success, with around 30% of the vote, signals a significant shift in Greenland politics towards gradual independence from Denmark.
