Factsheet: the Danish Folketinget
Directorate-General for the Presidency Directorate for Relations with National Parliaments Factsheet: The Danish Folketinget 1. At a glance Denmark is a Constitutional Monarchy and a parliamentary democracy. The Folketinget is a unicameral Parliament composed of 179 Members. The two self-governing regions, Greenland and the Faeroe Islands, each elect two Members. Of the other 175 Members, 135 are elected from ten multi-Member constituencies on a party list, proportional representation system using the d'Hondt method. The remaining 40 seats are allocated to ensure proportionality at a national level. Elections of the Folketinget must take place every four years, unless the Monarch, on the advice of the Prime Minister, calls for early elections. The general election on 5 June 2019 gave the "Red Bloc" a parliamentary majority in support of Social Democrats leader Mette Frederiksen as Prime Minister. The coalition comprises the Social Democrats, the Social Liberals, Socialist People's Party, the Red– Green Alliance, the Faroese Social Democratic Party and the Greenlandic Siumut, and won 93 of the 179 seats. The Government, announced on 27 June, is a single-party government. 2.

Greenland's Project Independence
NO. 10 JANUARY 2021 Introduction Greenland’s Project Independence Ambitions and Prospects after 300 Years with the Kingdom of Denmark Michael Paul An important anniversary is coming up in the Kingdom of Denmark: 12 May 2021 marks exactly three hundred years since the Protestant preacher Hans Egede set sail, with the blessing of the Danish monarch, to missionise the island of Greenland. For some Greenlanders that date symbolises the end of their autonomy: not a date to celebrate but an occasion to declare independence from Denmark, after becoming an autonomous territory in 2009. Just as controversial as Egede’s statue in the capital Nuuk was US President Donald Trump’s offer to purchase the island from Denmark. His arrogance angered Greenlanders, but also unsettled them by exposing the shaky foundations of their independence ambitions. In the absence of governmental and economic preconditions, leaving the Realm of the Danish Crown would appear to be a decidedly long-term option. But an ambitious new prime minister in Nuuk could boost the independence process in 2021. Only one political current in Greenland, tice to finances. “In the Law on Self-Govern- the populist Partii Naleraq of former Prime ment the Danes granted us the right to take Minister Hans Enoksen, would like to over thirty-two sovereign responsibilities. declare independence imminently – on And in ten years we have taken on just one National Day (21 June) 2021, the anniver- of them, oversight over resources.” Many sary of the granting of self-government people just like to talk about independence, within Denmark in 2009. -

Grønlandsudvalget 2020-21 GRU Alm.del - Bilag 48 Offentligt RIGSOMBUDSMANDEN I GRØNLAND Dato: 28. april 2021 Samtlige ministerier mv. Indberetning fra rigsombudsmanden i Grønland Valg i Grønland: IA og Naleraq danner snæver koalition Formand for Inuit Ataqatigiit (IA) Múte B. Egede og formand for Naleraq Hans Enoksen præsenterede 16. april 2021 en koalitionsaftale med titlen ’Solidaritet, stabilitet og vækst’. Koalitionen råder over 16 af Inatsisartuts 31 mandater, men har det lille liberale pro- rigsfællesskabsparti Atassut (to mandater) som støtteparti. Naalakkersuisut blev valgt af Inatsisartut den 23. april. Koalitionsaftalen, (der som bilag har ressortfordeling og ministerliste) er vedhæftet. Koalitionsaftalen har fokus på mennesket og de nære emner. Det hedder i indledningen, at koalitionen vil ”fokusere på befolkningens levevilkår og adgang til sundhed, uddannelse og en sund økonomi. Befolkningens styrke og robusthed er grundlaget for samfundets evne til at stå på egne ben.” Selvstændighedstemaet berøres som en overliggende, langsigtet målsætning, idet det prioriteres at udfylde de eksisterende rammer. Det angives som en målsætning, at der skal skabes stabilitet gennem brede og langsigtede forlig på samfundskritiske områder. Det fremgår af koalitionsaftalen, at det bl.a. er nødvendigt at reformere skattesystemet, og at en sammenhængende reform skal bane vejen for, at det bedre skal kunne betale sig at arbejde. På erhvervsområdet prioriteres det at få afsluttet det mangeårige arbejde med udarbejdelse af ny fiskerilov, og der lægges op til udvikling af råstofområdet, idet koalitionen dog vil arbejde for lovgivning, som forbyder mineraludvinding med radioaktivt materiale. Koalitionen agter at stoppe Kvanefjeldsprojektet. Ny naalakkersuisoq for udenrigsanliggender mv. Pele Broberg har i et interview til avisen Sermitsiaq oplyst, at Naalakkersuisut vil arbejde med ministerstyre. -

I meningsmålingen er der desuden spurgt til holdningen til selvstændighed samt til vælgernes tilfredshed med den ny koalition. Vedrørende holdningen til selvstændighed lød spørgsmålet: ”Et af punkterne i det nye samarbejde er øget fokus på selvstændighed. Hvor vigtigt er det for dig, at Grønland en dag bliver en selvstændig stat?” 39 procent af de adspurgte mente, at selvstændighed er ”meget vigtig”, mens 25 procent svarede, at selvstændighed er ”noget vigtig”. Holdningen til selvstændighed fordelt på alder, køn, beskæftigelse og partitilhørsforhold fremgår af nedenstående tabel.

Permitting Update: Greenland Government Affirms Support for Kvanefjeld Project
ASX: GGG Company Announcement, October 11th, 2018 Permitting Update: Greenland Government Affirms Support for Kvanefjeld Project Greenland Government affirms committed support for rare earth and associated uranium production following coalition adjustment Acknowledges that the time to shift from “research and assessment” to exploitation is approaching All key permitting documents lodged in English for content reviews by Greenland Government and their advisory groups Translations of SIA to Greenlandic and Danish is complete, EIA translations are advanced ‐ translated versions are required for official application acceptance Greenland Minerals Ltd (‘GML’ or ‘the Company’) advises of a change to the ruling coalition government in Greenland. The Siumut Party which won the April 2018 election will continue to lead the coalition government which includes Atassut and Nunatta Qitornai. Partii Naleraq has left the coalition. The Democrat Party, which had previously remained outside the government, has entered into an agreement with the coalition to support key areas including mining, thereby strengthening the government’s position. The coalition holds 13 seats in Greenland’s 31 seat parliament, and the Democrat Party holds 6 seats to provide strong majority support across key areas. The government has reaffirmed its support for rare earth and associated uranium extraction and acknowledged that with substantial “research and assessment” completed, the time to move the licensing process to the next stage of public consultations is imminent. GML has lodged the updated Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (EIA, SIA) for the Kvanefjeld Project which are undergoing content review (previously announced). The Feasibility Study and JORC‐code compliant Mineral Resource Estimate and Ore Reserve Statement have also been lodged as part of the mining license application process. -
