解説 グリーンランド議会選挙(2025年3月11日)

2025年3月11日、デンマークの自治領グリーンランドで、31議席を争う議会選挙(比例代表制)が実施された。中道左派のイヌイット友愛党と進歩党は、長らく連立与党として政権を維持していたが、今回の選挙では大きく議席を減らし、第3党(7議席)・第4党(4議席)となった。他方、中道右派の野党である民主党は、前回の約3倍となる10議席を獲得して第一党となり、もう一つの主要野党であるナレラク党も第二党(8議席)に躍進した。今回の選挙は、トランプ米大統領がグリーンランドの取得意向を示したことから、国内外の注目を集め、デンマークからの独立への姿勢が大きな争点となった。また、国内問題では、与党が採択した漁業法(雇用や投資に影響を及ぼすと野党から批判されていた)の是非も焦点となっていた。こうした争点に関して、民主党は段階的なデンマークからの独立を主張するとともに漁業法を批判し、ナレラク党は3年以内の早期のデンマークからの独立を主張していた。今回の選挙結果は、国内問題への不満が反映されるとともに、対デンマーク関係においては、独立の時期に関する意見は分かれたものの、従来の政治からの変化を求める声が強く表れた形となったといえる。(石川雄介)
