No matter what the future holds, Greenland's social partners want the labour market and environment to be taken into consideration.
A new TV documentary made by Denmark’s Radio, “Greenland’s white gold”, created a stir in the middle of the election campaign. It describes how Denmark extracted and sold cryolite – also called "white gold" – from Greenland between 1854 and 1987.
Several experts criticised the documentary for misleadingly describing the cryolite extraction in Greenland as being a massive financial gain for Denmark—without Greenland receiving a single krone.
After the criticism, DR withdrew the documentary and the editor responsible was fired.
