Greenland elections are disturbed as a party that favors the gradually independence from the Danish victory
Nuuk, Greenland -The Democaatit Party of the Right Center won the most votes in Greenland parliamentary elections, the result of surprise while the territory went to the poll in the shadow of the President Trump’s specified goal is to take control of the island in one way or another.
And Democaatit – Democrats – and second place party, Naleraq – “Orientation point” – favored independence from Denmark, but they differ in the speed of change.
Four of the five main parties in the race sought independence, but they did not agree when and how.
Naleraq is the most aggressive pastness, while democaatit favors a more moderate pace of change.

Democrat’s disturbed victory over the parties that have been managing the territory for years indicate that many in Greenland care equally about health care, education, cultural heritage and other social policies.
“I think this is a historic result in Greenland’s political history,” said Democaatit Party leader Jens-Frederik Nielsen at the electoral party after the results.
Greenland newspaper Sermitsiaq wrote that Nielsen seemed to be surprised by his party’s profits, and the photos showed him a huge smile and applauded at an election party.
The Danish RadioDiphus Corporation reported that Nielsen said his party would address all other parties to negotiate a future political course for Greenland.
The unexpected results came after the huge crowds flew into a polling station in the capital, NUUK, throughout the day, heated by the sunny sky. Exhausted voting officials closed the polls after a planned Tuesday at 8pm to make sure everyone was given the opportunity to throw their list.

Prime Minister Mute Bourup Egeda called the election a little early in February, saying that the country must unite during the “serious time”, which is unlike everything Greenland has ever experienced.
On Wednesday, after the results were known, Egede thanked the voters in the Facebook post for appearing and said that the parties were ready to contact the negotiations to form a government.
Mr. Trump was careful about his desire to control Greenland, speaking to a common session of the congress last week that he thinks he will get it now “one way or another”.
Greenland, a self -governing region of Denmark, breaks through strategic air and marine routes in northern Atlantic and has rich deposits of rare minerals of the country needed to make everything from mobile phones to renewable energy technology.
Egede’s inuit ataqatigiit (United Inuit) is expected to win, followed by Siumt, two parties that have dominated Greenland’s politics in recent years.
The break from Denmark was not on the ballot, but it was all in mind. The island of 56,000 people was on the way of independence from at least 2009, and 31 chosen legislators will form the future of the island while discussing whether it was time to declare independence.
“What an approach to independence will win the day will ultimately depend on whether Democaatit will decide to form a coalition government, and if so, with which party,” said Dwayne Menezes, Director General of the Polar Initiative for Research and Policy.
