All eyes on Greenland as decisive election approaches
2025 Greenlandic general election
Since Greenland is such a hot topic right now. The current government is a coalition of Inuit Ataqatigiit (Socialist, Environmentalist, Nationalist- pro indepdence) and Naleraq (pro- independence, populist), while the largest opposition party is Siumut (Social Democratic, Pro- Independence). Polls indicates Prime Minister Múte Bourup Egede's IA will win another mandate to govern. Independence is a hot topic on Greenland. Greenland has the right to declare themselves independent (have had that right since 2009). One of the reasons there has been little progress on the independence front despite most Greenlanders and political parties wanting independence is because Copnehagen pays 60% of their budget, so they simply can't afford to lose economic support.
Because of threats from the United States, a law was passed this February that bans anonymous donations from abroad to Greenlandic politicians or political parties. The Greenlandic parliament: the Inatsisartut has 31 seats.
