Nok, Greenland – The most popular influences on social media in Greenland announced its political presentation only weeks before the elections on Tuesday because it felt the winds of change through the vast North Pole island.

This is a truly historical moment. I feel that in the end we vote on independence. “This happened in the first place because the United States shows more attention in Greenland. “It is a great invitation to wake up.”

Its time usually update hundreds of thousands of social media followers about daily life in Greenland, to reveal the cost of a pair of correspondents in a commercial center in Nuk, the capital, to the type of seafood that is eaten on celebration days.

For Olsen and many Greenland, Tuesday’s vote appears to be the most important elections in the history of the modern region.

Greenland has acquired the world’s attention since US President Donald Trump has doubled his intentions to accommodate the island, an uncomfortable possibility that has renewed a long discussion about independence from Denmark.

While the level of self-government has expanded over the years, full sovereignty remains a distant but strong ambition for many Greenland-the issue at the heart of the sudden elections that were summoned after Trump confirmed his ambitions.

During the pre -voting period, Nuk was crossed with international journalists’ interest in unusual policy in green policy.

Among the questions that are constantly asked: Will Greenland take concrete steps towards separation from Denmark, or will economic facts keep them linked to Copenhagen?

“I don’t think complete independence will happen any time soon – it has always been a worker in the green elections. However, I do not see this happening quickly, although some political parties are paying for it. Maria Akrin, a professor of political science at the University of Greenland, told Al Jazerera” perhaps in 20 to 30 years. “

“Almost every party in Greenland supports independence. However, timing, circumstances and speed of the process vary.”

Greenland, an enormous island in the Arctic, which includes 56,000 people, has been an independent area inside the Kingdom of Denmark from 1979. until 1953, it was a Danish colony.

Under the 2009 home base agreement, Greenland has full control of its local affairs, but it still relies heavily on Denmark, which maintains power on foreign policy and defense.

Denmark Greenland provides an annual subsidy of about $ 570 million, and covers nearly a third of the island’s budget.

“It is time to take a step forward and form our future, including determining who we closely cooperate and who will be our commercial prayers. Mute B EGEDE, Prime Minister in Greenland and leader of the Socialist Social Democratic Socialism Party supporting independence, said that our relations with other countries can only occur through Denmark.

Some parties invite Greenland to hold a referendum on a specific article in the Law of the Home Base during the next four years. If the result is yes, the negotiations on independence and a country will start with Denmark.

Modern opinion polls indicate that the vast majority of Greenland does not want to join the United States and most of them from the idea of ​​independence.

A surveys showed that 70 percent of the Danish believe that if Greenland leaves the Danish field, the annual support-the so-called “mass grant” must be stopped.

By moving in the snow -covered Nuk streets, Trump’s supporter in Greenland was impressed by the Maga Hamra hat on the dashboard in his car.

“It is the original – from behind in 2016. I was in my car for nine years,” Georgin Bassen proudly told Al -Jazeera.

It works with a Republican organization called American DayBreak, which aims to increase the influence of the United States in Greenland.

Previously, Trump refused to exclude military or economic coercion to seize Greenland.

In recent days, the American leader has repeated his desire to capture the island.

“I think we’ll get it. Trump said in a speech to Congress:” In one way or another, “Trump said in a speech to Congress.

The next day, Prime Minister EGEDE posted on Facebook, “We do not want to be Americans, nor the Danish – we Greenland. The Americans and their leader must understand this.”

In 2019, when Trump suggested president, the United States should buy Greenland from Denmark, called “Strategic Real Estate Deal”, angered both Copenhagen and Nok.

Greenland is a geographical part of the North American continent, but it is culturally linked to Europe for centuries.

“The green parties did not present after a clear and concrete vision of independence. It is still not clear exactly what they mean. However, it is clear that Donald Trump’s interest gave them a feeling of momentum, which they use to pressure Danish politicians,” said Astron, a professor at the University of Greenland.

Since Christmas, Trump has repeatedly claimed that the United States should seek greater control of the island’s resources and expand its military presence in the Arctic; Greenland is already home to a large American base.

In January, the President of the President visited Donald Trump Junior. While it was officially described as a special journey, it seems that the tour was a well -planned social media trick aimed at pressuring Greenland and Denmark.

Basin said he helped organize a controversial visit, which showed snapshots from some Greenland wearing Maga caps. The Danish media later claimed that some of those who wear red hats were bribed.

“I am not interested in Greenland become an American state,” said Basin. “But I want a greater American military existence here. Denmark did not do what they promised regarding military accumulation, and we cannot rely only on Europe anymore.”

Analysts believe that the Trump administration sees Greenland, which has huge, unforgivable resources such as rare minerals, oil and gas, As a strategic origin – a major area of ​​the Arctic such as geopolitical tensions between China, Russia and the United States heats up.

While local politicians insisted that Greenland is open to work, Greenlands certainly does not care about a new colonial ruler.

As for the Danish Prime Minister Metty Friedrixen, he stated several times that the future of Greenland is only to Greenland to make a decision.
