Greenland’s Center-Right “Demokraatit Party” Wins Election, Favoring Independence from Denmark
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com ^ | 3/12/2025 | jim hoft

In a landmark election, Greenland’s center-right Demokraatit (Democrats) party has emerged victorious, a pro-Independence party.

The pro-business party, advocating for a measured approach to independence from Denmark, secured approximately 30% of the vote, a significant increase from 9% in the previous 2021 election, The Times reported.

The Demokraatit Party’s platform emphasizes the development of Greenland’s abundant natural resources, particularly its rare earth minerals, which are crucial for modern technologies.

By advocating for increased private sector investment and responsible mining practices, the party aims to reduce economic dependence on Denmark and pave the way for eventual autonomy.

Another party, Naleraq—known for having Greenland’s most pro-USA politicians—also delivered a strong performance in the election. Demokraatit and Naleraq have now emerged as the leading parties, overtaking the leftist Siumut and IA, which had previously dominated Greenlandic politics for years.

Demokraatit advocates for a gradual path to independence.

Naleraq, on the other hand, advocates for a more immediate move toward independence. The party has historically proposed ambitious timelines for secession and seeks to expedite the process of self-determination.

“The cold coast of Greenland
Is barren and bare
No seed time nor harvest
Is ever known there
And the birds here sing sweetly
In mountain and dale
But there’s no bird in Greenland
To sing to the whale
There is no habitation
For a man to live there
And the king of that country
Is the fierce Greenland bear
And there’ll be no temptation
To tarry long there
With our ship under full
We will homeward repair”

George Scroggie, circa 1850

Note that this isn't the "pro-USA" Naleraq party that people were claiming won yesterday. These "democrats" are more Euro leaning, and want to continue a slow process toward eventual independence. They have been one of the more anti-Trump parties. How they govern really depends on what party they choose to ally with to form a government. If it's Naleraq, they might soften their position on aligning with the US.

Greenland is quickly figuring this out. They will benefit much more from ties with America than pipsqueak Denmark. Greenland is not connected with NATO, by the way.

How does that work?

Aren’t they a possession of Denmark, which is a NATO member?

I believe this is movement towards the right vs a continuation of the status quo. First movement in that direction in 50 years. Makes it more likely that Greenland can negotiate on their own. I think.

Wrong. All the parties were pro-separation. The winning party was the most gradualist.

Well, no.

The winning party in Greenland made it clear that it wants to be part of neither Denmark nor the U.S.

Independence. Not a takeover by America.

Greenlanders say no to Trump as rare earths loom over coalition talks .
