  • A left-wing party opposed to a controversial mining project in Greenland on Friday unveiled the coalition which is going to govern the Danish territory after a snap parliamentary election. Inuit Ataqatigiit (IA), which garnered 36.6 percent of the vote giving it 12 seats in the 31-seat Greenlandic national assembly, will govern with the pro-independence Naleraq which has four seats. Liberal conservative party Atassut, which holds two seats, will support the government in parliament without joining the coalition. IA's biggest rival Siumut, a social democratic party that has dominated politics in the Danish territory since it gained autonomy in 1979, came in second in the election held this month. The IA and Naleraq have agreed on a programme to deal with major social issues, education, fishing and climate change. The chasm between the haves and the have nots in Greenland is one of the biggest in prosperous northern Europe. "The inequalities have become too big and must be levelled," said IA leader Mute Egede, who at 34 is the world's youngest prime minister. The Kuannersuit deposit, in the island's south, is considered one of the world's richest in uranium and rare earth minerals -- a group of 17 metals used as components in everything from smartphones to electric cars and weapons. IA has called for a moratorium on uranium mining, which would effectively put a halt to the project. Divisions over Kuannersuit originally triggered the snap election in the territory after one of the smaller parties left the ruling Siumut coalition. Since 2009, the ice-covered territory has managed its own resources but still relies on annual subsidies of around 526 million euros ($625 million), accounting for about a third of its budget, from Copenhagen. Denmark, which is not opposed to Nuuk's independence, also controls issues of diplomacy and defence. Nuuk is therefore seeking to diversify its own income, notably through more sustainable fishing, as well as tourism and agriculture. Traditional fishing currently accounts for 90 percent of its exports. cbw/ach/kjl
