Greenland held its general elections in Nuuk on Tuesday, where citizens took to the polls to choose members of the Inatsisartut, the island's parliament. The election comes at a critical time for Greenland, as it continues to grapple with issues related to autonomy, climate change, and its relationship with Denmark.
Political parties in Greenland are focused on a range of key issues, including economic development, social welfare, and the management of the island's natural resources. In recent years, there has been growing debate over whether Greenland should pursue full independence from Denmark or continue to strengthen its autonomy within the Kingdom of Denmark.
