Greenland Congress banned foreign and anonymous political funds on Tuesday, on Tuesday, on Tuesday, on Tuesday, on Tuesday, on Tuesday, on Tuesday. Greenland's member of the Diet quickly tracked the law before the future parliamentary election -efforts to protect from external interference.
The law was Greenland's most aggressive effort and refused to push Trump back last month. The law did not directly specify him as a potential campaign, but a proposal that stipulated the law and its basis revealed that his claim had influenced the author.
“This country is an election and political decision -making process, given the geopolitical interests in Greenland and the current situation where the representatives of the Allied countries are interested in gaining and dominance of Greenland. The proposal is particularly vulnerable to the impact attempt. ” 。
The law was charged as an effort to protect the political perfection of Greenland in the proposal. Greenland's prime minister Mute B. Egede proposed to hold a parliamentary election on March 11.
Greenlanders were initially confused by Mr. Trump's repetition of the United States, who had dominated territory. Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., temporarily visited the island last month, which was added to speculation.
For the United States, Greenland is sitting in a strategic place. There is an American military base on the island, and the commercial and the Navy competition is growing to the far north as climate change melts the Arctic ice. Greenland also has the rare elements used to manufacture advanced technology and the vast amount of other minerals.
“I need it for national security,” said the President.
Greenland has been tied to Denmark for a long time. At first, as a colony, then a semi -independent territory. Since 2009, it has been the right to declare independence after a referendum, but still rely on Denmark depends on defense, security, and other international issues.
Most of the Greenland population is increasingly rubbed by Copenhagen's monitoring. Greenland's leadership rejected Trump's progress repeatedly.
“Greenland is ours,” said Eged that Trump turned to the island at the end of last year. “We are not sold and are never sold.”
Denmark is also rattled. Last week, he stated that military spending in the North Atlantic will increase $ 2 billion.
Scandinavian countries do not want to cause a trade war with the United States. After a ice -like phone call with Mr. Trump, Denmark's Prime Minister Methte Frederixen traveled to Europe last week to meet European and NATO leaders, increased support, controlled damage, and was intense. We talked about how to respond to the request.
“Trump will not have Greenland,” said Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Rock Lasmussen, the Prime Minister, said during the first term of Trump.
The Greenland parliament, Inuts, does not require the approval of Denmark to pass the law. The member of the Diet moved very quickly -the bill was introduced only on Saturday.
“Given the current geopolitical situation and future Inut elections, the need for such regulations is thought to be urgent,” he said.
Other countries, including the United States, restrict or prohibit foreign political funds. According to proposals, Greenland had previously not restricted or prohibited such contributions.
The proposal has pointed out that foreign countries have recently tried to affect other democratic elections around the world. The author particularly pointed out a huge amount of private political donations in the United States.
“This initiative is obviously urgent,” said Ulrik Pram Gad, a researcher at the Denmark International Research Institute.
He said that donations had previously not affected Greenland's politics and said that the law was “mainly precautionary measures.”
Greenland is also trying to oppose foreign profits by restricting the purchase of real estate.
On Monday, the Diet has approved a new regulation to restrict land purchases to Danish citizens or at least two years of permanent residents of Greenland. The rules are expected to be valid in the second half of this year.
Greenland has about 56,000 inhabitants, mostly covered with ice. It is open to the world -it says that it is ready for business, and recently opened a new international airport -but the tourist infrastructure is sparse.
Contribution of foreign campaigns -even those who are considered small in the United States can significantly change the Greenland political structure. The parties were mainly funded by public subsidies, but the proposals read that their personal contributions were “composed of a shortage of political funding”.
“The perspective of this potential threat is surprising,” he said. “The modest donation on an international scale is huge in the Greenland election campaign.”
Political parties are no longer allowed to receive foreign or anonymous contributions. Local and youth branches of political parties, members, assistants, candidates, and youth are not.
The new law also restricts the amount of private political donations. Party parties can only receive about $ 28,000 personal donations a year. Individual donors can only provide about $ 2,800. The law also enhances and expand disclosure requirements among other considerations.
“A large -variety of private donations in disproportionate can weaken the trust of the people on the perfection of political processes,” said the proposal.
