"We hoped for some kind of a different election, surely. But we didn’t expect this. It’s a big surprise for many people as well as the Greenlandic people, I guess. So many, is still kind of surprised. Yeah, to say the least."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Poul Petersen, Demokraatit Party senior official:
"So my concern it’s, we thought about it (geopolitical implications to the election) and we’ve reflected on it and said what can we do in this position and with our allies and try to stay calm, stay focused, stay focused on our issues in Greenland to say what can we do to to get things better, but still have some kind of focus on the world as it is. It’s well, you have the war in Ukraine, you have their environment changing rapidly and stuff like that we have to focus on. So in some ways it has kind of influenced the election, I guess, but how and how much I don’t know."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Poul Petersen, Demokraatit Party senior official:
"We are open for any kind of business, but we are Greenlandic and we will not be bought by any country, the U.S. or another country. We are very proud as a people and we stand for, I would say, some kind of independence talk has been going on for, for a long time and that’s our main goal as it is. But for my party, it’s not tomorrow, it’s in the future. And for that reason we are focused on that part – being independent in the future. And when? We don’t know, but we definitely don’t like people talking to us and trying to buy us or whatever."

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Poul Petersen, Demokraatit Party senior official:
"In the future we like to be independent. But it’s going to be, well we have to think about it very, very carefully because what’s what’s happening now in the world is troubling for me and our party, and we have to make sure we have the right allies. Because if we don’t, we have our defense, we are in in a place where many people look at Greenland, and therefore you have to maintain the focus and be clear about the consequences. Every choice you make can have consequences for people."
