- Yes, we would very much like to discuss it.
So clear is the message from the political spokesperson of the Social Democrats, Christian Rabjerg Madsen, in response to the question of whether the government is ready to prepare a plan for the conditions for a revision of the Self-Government Act.
The Self-Government Act forms the framework for the relationship between Greenland and Denmark. In the coalition agreement for the new Greenlandic government it states:
- A plan should be prepared for the conditions for a revision of the Self-Government Act.
And that is what they are ready for from the Social Democrats' side.
- The new Greenlandic government, combined with the fact that we are experiencing a world that is becoming more difficult for everyone, inspires us to also look at the cooperation in the realm with new eyes, says Christian Rabjerg Madsen.
- When we say these things, it is because we believe that the strongest realm should be based on equality, which Greenland has been asking for for many years, says the Social Democratic spokesperson.
