Greenland opposition leader is stepping down, citing a toxic political climate
One of the most prominent figures of Greenlandic politics in recent years has grown weary of a legislature she says stifles criticism and turns out shoddy legislation.
For the better part of a decade, politics in Greenland has been synonymous with Sara Olsvig. But, on November 5, the Greenlandic opposition leader, who earned more votes than any other candidate in the most recent election, in April, will step down as head of her party and resign her seat in Inatsisartut, the national assembly. The departure is the latest upheaval in a tumultuous year in Greenlandic politics.
