Greenland chooses: Trump's influence and a landslide victory of democratic!

Grönland, Dänemark - The parliamentary election in Greenland on March 11, 2025 has drawn international attention to the geopolitical sensitive region. This election was particularly explosive, since US President Donald Trump had repeatedly expressed the wish to integrate Greenland into the USA, which was largely rejected by the Greenlanders. According to surveys, 85 percent of the population rejected accession to the United States, which sends a clear message to the world. The polling stations extended their opening times due to the large crowds, since 40,500 of almost 57,000 Greenlanders entitled to vote were called for voting, as well as reported.

The results of the choice show a dramatic change: Democratite under Jens Frederik Nielsen has achieved a landslide victory and are therefore the new strongest force in the Greenland Parliament. The previous government party Inuit Ataqatigiit surprisingly landed in third place, while the Naleraq, which was able to double its result, took second place. The results also show the failure of the former leading SIUMUT, which has significantly halved their result. The new separatist party Qulleq also competed, but failed to move into parliament. According to reports, the choice shows a clear trend towards a desire for change in Greenland politics, which the Wikipedia as part of a greater independence idea.

In addition to the election decisions, the developments around Trump caused unrest. His statements of integrating Greenland as a US territory were perceived as disrespectful, which was sharply criticized by Prime Minister Eggede. In an international political atmosphere in which the United States is said to have an increasing interest in Greenland, this led to concern about possible interference in the election process. The Danish secret service warned of foreign influences, which led to stricter rules for party donations. This choice not only has an impact on Greenland domestic policy, but also reflects the complex geopolitical tensions that the region is exposed to.
