Remove ads
Naleraq (lit. 'Point of Orientation'), previously known as Partii Naleraq,[8] is a centrist-populist pro-independence political party in Greenland. The party favors greater cooperation with the United States.[9] While parties such as Inuit Ataqatigiit and Siumut also favor independence, Naleraq is seen as advocating for more immediate independence,[9] and promised in the lead-up to the 2025 elections to hold a referendum on the issue.[10]

History
In January 2014 Hans Enoksen announced that he was forming a new political party after leaving Siumut.[11] In the November 2014 general election the party won three seats, taken by Enoksen, Per Rosing-Petersen (another former Siumut member) and Anthon Frederiksen (a former Association of Candidates member).
In the April 2018 general election the party increased its vote share and won four seats in parliament. In May 2018 MP Henrik Fleischer left the party and switched to Siumut.[12][13][14]
On 15 February 2021 the party changed its name and logo.[15] In June 2022 Hans Enoksen resigned as party chairman of the party,[16] and was replaced by Pele Broberg.[17]
On 10 February 2025, Folketing member Aki-Matilda Høegh-Dam departed Siumut and joined Naleraq, saying that Siumut was insufficiently committed to Greenlandic independence.[18] At the elections the next month, Naleraq finished a surprising second, winning eight seats, double their previous total.
