El Inatsisartut (Parlamento groenlandés) eligió este lunes al liberal Jens-Frederik Nielsen como nuevo presidente del Gobierno del territorio autónomo danés, según confirmaron fuentes parlamentarias, en un contexto marcado por el renovado interés geopolítico de Estados Unidos por Groenlandia.

Nielsen, líder del partido Demokraatit, se convierte en jefe del Ejecutivo tras obtener cerca del 30% de los votos en las elecciones del 11 de marzo. Su nombramiento da paso a una coalición inédita que reúne a cuatro de las cinco fuerzas con representación parlamentaria: el socialista Inuit Ataqatigiit (IA), el socialdemócrata Siumut, el también liberal Atassut y su propia formación, sumando 23 de los 31 escaños del Legislativo.

El nuevo Gobierno asumió el compromiso de abrir negociaciones con Dinamarca para revisar el actual Estatuto de Autonomía con el objetivo de establecer “un marco renovado y moderno para la colaboración futura”, según el acuerdo interpartidario firmado hace dos semanas. Las conversaciones partirán del principio de cooperación “entre partes iguales” y contemplan impulsar inversiones para fomentar el “desarrollo” del territorio.

Groenlandia cuenta desde 2009 con un Estatuto que reconoce su derecho de autodeterminación, tras sustituir al régimen autonómico instaurado en 1979. Aunque el texto permite al Ejecutivo local asumir competencias adicionales, una treintena de áreas —como justicia y fuerzas de seguridad— siguen bajo financiación y control de Copenhague.

Con una superficie de 2,2 millones de kilómetros cuadrados —el 80% de ellos cubierto permanentemente por hielo— y una población inferior a los 57.000 habitantes, Groenlandia depende económicamente de Dinamarca, que contribuye con aproximadamente el 40% de los ingresos anuales del territorio. La pesca representa el 90% de sus exportaciones.

El único partido fuera del nuevo Ejecutivo es el Partido Naleraq, que fue la segunda fuerza más votada con un 24,5% y que defiende una independencia rápida. Aunque Naleraq firmó junto al resto de formaciones una declaración conjunta rechazando como “inaceptables” las palabras del presidente estadounidense Donald Trump sobre Groenlandia, posteriormente se desmarcó al criticar a Nielsen y al anterior Gobierno por participar en una manifestación frente al consulado de EEUU en Nuuk.

En las últimas semanas, Nielsen ha reiterado su rechazo a las declaraciones estadounidenses sobre Groenlandia. “Somos seres humanos, no somos una propiedad que se puede comprar. Siempre se puede hablar de colaboración, pero hablar de anexión es inaceptable”, declaró al canal danés TV2 el pasado viernes.

Las tensiones se intensificaron después de que el secretario de Estado estadounidense, Marco Rubio, afirmara en Bruselas que los groenlandeses buscan alejarse de Dinamarca y que Washington está dispuesto a “intervenir” y ofrecerles “una asociación”.

Nielsen respondió: “No tiene razón en lo de que Groenlandia quiere independizarse mañana. Tiene razón en que Groenlandia no quiere ser danesa, pero Groenlandia tampoco quiere ser estadounidense”.

El nuevo Ejecutivo groenlandés deberá equilibrar su agenda autonomista con las crecientes presiones externas, en un momento en que el interés estratégico por el Ártico vuelve a situar a Groenlandia en el centro del tablero geopolítico.

Mientras avanzan las negociaciones con Dinamarca para redefinir su estatus, las autoridades locales enfrentan el desafío de fortalecer su economía y gobernanza interna sin alterar el delicado equilibrio entre soberanía, cooperación regional y estabilidad institucional.

FIRST ON FOX: An email sent to New Jersey State Police staff revealed that officers were asked not to comply with federal arrest warrants, bringing attention to the state’s «sanctuary» policies.

The email sent on March 24 was made public by Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli, who said he does not fault the head of the department, Col. Patrick Callahan, but the state’s policies that are in place, as well as Democratic leaders.

«The fact that my campaign received this email is evidence that brave and courageous law enforcement officers throughout New Jersey are angry about being handcuffed by liberal Democrat policies in Trenton, making our communities less safe,» Ciattarelli said in a statement.

«The blame goes to Governor Murphy, Attorney General Platkin, and the Democrat legislature for mandating absurd policies like the Immigrant Trust Directive,» the Republican continued.

«We will be partners with the Trump Administration in fixing our immigration system and restore law and order,» he said if elected governor in November, as Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy will be termed out of office after serving two terms.

The email from Callahan, which was obtained from the Ciattarelli campaign and reviewed by Fox News Digital, said his team is not legally permitted to follow «Outstanding Administrative Warrants of Removal from the United States,» as 27,000 «hits» were recently added to the National Crime Information Center.

«Taking law enforcement action by arresting a subject based solely on an ‘Outstanding Administrative Warrant’ would violate the Attorney General’s Immigration Trust Directive,» the email states. The email, which was sent out to police personnel, «operational dispatch units» and «public safety telecommunicators,» also noted that NJSP employees cannot reach out to Immigration and Customs Enforcement through the phone number given.

NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR SUGGESTS HE’S HOUSING A MIGRANT AT HIS HOME, TELLS FEDS ‘GOOD LUCK’ TRYING TO GET HER

The directive from the Attorney General’s Office says authorities in New Jersey, at any level of government besides federal, can help federal law enforcement «when the sole purpose of that assistance is to enforce federal civil immigration law.»

In the state governor’s race, many of the Democratic candidates’ views differ from the Trump administration’s illegal immigration policies.

During a recent debate, Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop and Rep. Josh Gottheimer disagreed on the Laken Riley Act, federal bipartisan legislation signed by President Donald Trump that expands the crimes that could get somebody into custody of the Department of Homeland Security.

«The Laken Riley Act served to undermine the authority of the attorney general here in New Jersey,» Fulop said at the time. «It is a very dangerous piece of legislation as it relates to autonomy of the governor and the attorney general here, and it should not have been supported.»

Last month, Murphy suggested he had a migrant living with him and it was unclear if the person was in the country legally.

«Tammy [Murphy] and I were talking about – I don’t want to get into too much detail, but there is someone in our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to. And we said, you know what? Let’s have her live at our house above our garage,» the Democratic governor told Blue Wave New Jersey.

«And good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her,» he continued.

Attorney General Matt Platkin explained his perspective on the directive in a statement to Fox News Digital.

«Our number one priority is keeping New Jerseyans safe. The Immigrant Trust Directive ensures that New Jersey police officers spend their time tackling pressing public safety issues like violent crime, gun violence, and drug trafficking, while also ensuring that victims of crime and witnesses can safely come forward to police and report crime regardless of their immigration status,» he stated. «Under the Immigrant Trust Directive, state and local law enforcement have and will continue to work with federal authorities to remove violent criminals from this country. Plain and simple, there is no ‘sanctuary’ for criminals in New Jersey.»

«The directive was drafted and is enforced with the support and cooperation of law enforcement leaders. The Office of the Attorney General, the County Prosecutors Association of New Jersey, and the New Jersey Association of Chiefs of Police, together, recently released guidance for law enforcement on the Immigrant Trust Directive and its importance,» the attorney general continued.

Murphy’s office and DHS did not comment in time for publication.
