There are many possibilities that people should learn about before we hold a referendum. That is why my party has submitted a motion to parliament that we should activate our right to self-determination," he said. Earlier, Greenland's parliament member and former Foreign Minister Pele Broberg, who chairs Naleraq, the largest opposition party, told Sputnik that Denmark has repeatedly threatened Greenland whenever its independence was discussed.Greenland was a colony of Denmark until 1953. It remains part of the kingdom, but in 2009 it received autonomy with the possibility of self-government and independent choice in domestic policy. In 2019, a series of media reports appeared about Trump considering purchasing Greenland.
