The government will be the broadest possible – four out of five parties in parliament are included.
Only the party Naleraq, which wants a faster independence process from Denmark, will be left out.
The largest party is the social-liberal Demokraatit, whose leader Jens-Frederik Nielsen will become the head of government.
— I am incredibly proud to be able to present great unity. What we are presenting here today is incredibly important in a time when we are being pressured as a population, he says during a press conference in Nuuk.
The other parties included in the coalition are the left-oriented IA (Inuti Ataqatigiit), the bourgeois Atassut, and the social-democratic Siumut.
Greenland's former head of government Múte Bourup Egede, who is still the chairman of IA, also emphasizes unity and stability.
We live in difficult times, but we have adapted to geopolitical conditions for thousands of years, and regardless of what happens, we will stay here forever, he says, prompting a hundred local residents to cheer.
The new government will quickly call for negotiations with Denmark, which will lead to a revision of the law governing Greenland's self-government.
The new coalition agreement has been named "We stand together for a safe and free Greenland in development".
