Naleraq became the second largest party in the Parliament election, but stands as the only party outside the coalition.
The criticism from the opposition party Naleraq is noticeable after the first 100 days of Greenlanders’ government.
The opposition party, which is the only party in the opposition, accuses the Greenlanders’ government in a press release of raising prices for ordinary citzens, but at the same time spending time and effort on receiving Danish delegations and military visits and signing cooperation agreements.
“It has now been 100 days since the coalition came to power and made big but few promises to the population.”
“But what happened? Yes, the conditions that had already been criticised continued unchanged,” the party writes in the press release.
The party points out, among other things, that Demokraatit went to the election on the grounds that the Fisheries Act should be changed and that compulsory pension savings should be abolished. But in Naleraq’s eyes, nothing has happened.
”It Has Been A Disappointment”
And the chairman of the Greenlandic government, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, also said in a major interview on KNR on Tuesday evening that the Fisheries Act should not be changed, but that the Greenlanders’ government will look at some of the regulations to the law.
“During the first 100 days, it has become clear that instead of change and reforms, a stronger central control and top-down management have been reintroduced,” Naleraq writes in the press release.
And the party is, to put it mildly, incomprehensible that the Greenland government has not looked at the mandatory pension scheme, which according to them can ease the finances of families at a time when grocery and petrol prices are rising.
How are ordinary people supposed to manage financially if the Greenland government will not do anything to ease the pressure on families’ finances, the party asks rhetorically.
According to the letter, Naleraq has become tired of explanations and excuses. The party demands action from the coalition.
“The first 100 days could have been an opportunity for improvements, but for many it has seemed like a disappointment. And that is a shame,” they emphasise.
