NUUK,GREENLAND/ Greenland voters have voted 75% for a referendum that declares independence for Greenland from Denmark. This referendum includes:
- The proposals were to expand home rule in 30 areas, including police, courts, and the coast guard, give Greenland a say in foreign policy and a more definite split of future oil revenue, and make Greenlandic the sole official language. Under the proposal, Greenland's subsidies from Copenhagen would be phased out. The subsidy is currently 3.5 billion kroner ($588 million) per year, which accounts for about one-third of the island's gross domestic product of 10.5 billion kroner and almost two-thirds of the total income of the home rule government of 6.1 billion kroner. If enacted, Greenlanders would become a separate people under international law
This referendum makes Greenland fully independent from Denmark and allows Greenland full control of its government.
