A question of Greenland independence

This Tuesday, Greenland chooses a new parliament, and shortly before that it has become very clear what it is about. Greenland’s Prime Minister Múte B.

Eggede opposed the American president. “We deserve to be treated with respect, and I don’t think the US President has done this recently,” said Eggede in an interview that the Danish radio broadcast on Monday. Donald Trump is “unpredictable” and unsettled people. Trump, in turn, published a post on his “Truth Social” platform on Monday night with reference to the upcoming choice. “We are ready to invest billions of dollars to create new jobs and make them rich,” he wrote. If the Grönlanders wanted, “we warmly welcome them to become part of the greatest nation in the world”. Grönland is huge, around four times as large as France, but only around 56,000 people live on the island. Only around 43,000 of them are entitled to vote. In this regard, the parliamentary election is like a smaller local election this Tuesday. But their effects could be serious. For the country itself, for Denmark, but also for Europe. Trump: “On one way or two we will get it” Greenland is a largely autonomous part of the Danish kingdom. There have been independence efforts on the island for a long time, and the former colonial power is treated unfairly. Scandals such as the forced establishment of spirals to contraception in thousands of Greenland girls and women contributed to this. Oil into the fire, Trump’s son Donald Jr. gave a visit to the Greenland capital Nuuk in January by accusing Denmark of racism. Trump, in turn, did not even rule out military and economic measures against Denmark. America needs the island for its and for international security, he affirmed. And before the congress, Trump recently gave himself confident: he thinks that America would get Greenland. “We will get it on one way or another.” With his approach, Trump has plunged Denmark into a deep foreign policy crisis. It was hit cold from his attack, which coincides with an increased tribute to Greenland. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is now trying to save what’s possible. She repeatedly insured the Greenlanders, only she determined the future of her country alone. But in Copenhagen it is doubted that Greenland can be kept. Many children in Greenland speak better English than Danish the independence in the Greenland election campaign was the central topic. All parties represented in the parliament are for this, except for the center-right party Atassut, which supports whereabouts in the kingdom. But most of the other parties do not want independence at all costs. There has been a turn to America on the island for a long time. Greenland is geographically part of the American continent, many children speak English better than Danish. But they don’t necessarily want to become Americans because of this, and the American pressure now ensured that many people gone at a distance from the United States. “Greenland belongs to us. We will neither be Americans nor Danes, ”said Eggede repeatedly. Activate external content in the election, only the Naleraq party supports a quick coordination of independence and a rapid approach to the USA. Trump greeted Trump Jr. in Nuuk in January, and a member of the party had traveled to the United States, where he met with Republican MPs who brought a “Make Greenland Great Again Act” into the House of Representatives. There was only a survey in the election campaign, in which only around 500 people were interviewed. The Naleraq protest party saw it strengthened, but only around 16 percent. The pressure from the outside could also be increased for the government, to what extent possible attempts at manipulation have an impact on the election result, of which the Danish secret services warned at the end of February. These said that in the election campaign, profiles were fake in social networks and quotes from Greenland politicians were torn out of context. In addition, American attention for Greenland leads to the spread of misinformation by “politicians, opinion makers and influential people from the USA”. The two coalition parties also strive for Greenland’s independence, but only when the right economic and political conditions are given. Eggede now aims to form the most widespread, robust coalition government in the event of an election victory. After that, Denmark would have to negotiate what the collaboration could look like after the split. So far there has been no clear strategy of any party. How the island should ever be on its own legs is open. Copenhagen still transfers around 530 million euros annually to Greenland, which corresponds to about half of the Greenland state budget. In addition, the population decreases, many Greenlanders are weak. It is assumed in Copenhagen that Greenland can become independent of Denmark, but then inevitably riveted depending on America, of which the 77 -year -old activist and politician Aqqaluk Lynge, who fought for Greenland’s independence throughout his life, is now committed to increasing connection with Denmark. In order to survive, Greenland must now “approach Denmark as far as possible”, Lynge recently told the newspaper “Politics”. Lynge once founded the IA, the party of Prime Minister Eggede. In his view, the risk of a takeover of Greenland by the United States is very real. “If Greenland and Denmark do not move very closely together in this game, Trump will come and get us.” Trump was behind Greenland’s wealth. “As a people, we don’t exist for him.”
