The Demokratit party, which advocates gradual independence for Greenland, won the election, defeating the left-wing parties that formed the previous government. New leader Jens-Frederik Nielsen made it clear that Greenland belongs to Greenlanders, not to foreign powers
A potential new prime minister of the Danish autonomous region Grenland Jens-Frederik Nielsen rejected the idea of US President Donald Trump about the US taking control of this giant island in the Arctic Circle, saying that it is up to Greenlanders to decide their future.
Greenland wants to secede from Denmark, but the election winners, the Democrat Party, want it to happen slowly and gradually.
Demokratit, a pro-business party, was the surprise winner of yesterday's election, leaving behind the two left-wing parties that formed Greenland's previous government.
With most Greenlanders opposed to Trump's wishes to control their homeland, the parliamentary campaign has focused on health care and education. Trump's ideas were therefore not on the ballot.
However, Nielsen, as the head of the Democrats, very quickly declared against Trump's idea, which was repeated last session at the joint session of the US Congress. Trump then repeated that America needs Greenland to protect national security and that, according to his expectations, it will happen "one way or another".
"We will not be Americans." We will not be Danes. We want to be Greenlanders and we want to be independent in the future," Nielsen (33) told British Sky News and added: "We want to build our own country."
About 56.000 people, mostly Inuit, live on the mostly frozen, snow-covered island northeast of Canada. There is also the American military base Pitufik, which serves for early warning of the arrival of intercontinental ballistic missiles and for space observations.
Greenland is rich in rare minerals.

On the planet K2-18b, very, very far away, as much as 124 light years from Earth, the atmosphere is full of gas that smells unpleasantly like boiled radishes and which supposedly can only be produced by living organisms.

It is clear why political opponents are calling for resistance, but it does not seem that those who brought the current president to power are too happy about everything that is happening in the country, because the choice is extremely simple: either the president will respect the laws, or the laws cease to apply. There is no third

For us who come from the Balkans, everything seems like a parallel universe. There is no drama and visible exaggerated emotions here. There is a fundamental conviction that life is a serious matter, but that in that seriousness there must be room for play, harmony and tenderness. And that this is not achieved by chance, but through practice, order, and culture

Anyone who condemns the regime's targeting of people from the media, the non-governmental sector, the opposition and universities, must not agree to this targeting of RTS editors and journalists either.
