The opposition Democratite Party, the opposition in the business sector in Greenland, won the parliamentary elections that took place on Tuesday, which had a great follow -up, overcoming the ruling leftist coalition, in a vote dominated by US President Donald Trump’s pledge to control the island.
Parliamentary elections on Greenland Island
The Democratite Party, which prefers a slow approach to independence from Denmark, got 29.9% of the vote with the screening of all votes, up from 9.1% in 2021, ahead of the opposition Nalcrac party, which prefers rapid independence, by 24.5%, according to Reuters.
Since he took office last January, Donald Trump has pledged to make Greenland, a semi -independent area in Denmark, is part of the United States, saying it was vital to US security services, the idea that most of the Greenland residents rejected.
The island’s population is only 57 thousand people, which occurred in a geopolitical race for dominance on the Arctic, where the ice peaks melted, new resources, and the opening of new shipping routes through it, as Russia and China intensified their military activities in the region.
