Mariane Paviasen (born 1964 or 1965) is a Greenlandic politician. She was elected to the Inatsisartut, the parliament of Greenland, during the 2021 general election. She is a member of the Inuit Ataqatigiit party and a vocal opponent to uranium mining.
Mariane Paviasen was born in either 1964 or 1965.[1]
She is a staunch critic of uranium mining.[2] She was concerned about plans to operate an open-pit mine in Narsaq, which would have exposed residents to uranium.[3] In 2013, she formed the Urani? Naamik (Greenlandic for "Uranium? No") movement in response.[3] She publicly raised her concerns about uranium mining with Erik Jensen, the minister for mineral resources, in a 2019 town hall meeting.[4] Prior to her election in the Greenlandic parliament, she worked for a helicopter company at Narsaq.[5]
Paviasen was elected to the Inatsisartut for the Inuit Ataqatigiit party in April 2021.[2] She and Urani? Naamik challenged the lobbying efforts of mining groups, and the Greenlandic public favored her party as a result.[3] The agricultural industry was one of the most impassioned supporters of her group, since they believed their meat products would no longer be purchased due to concerns over radioactivity.[3] She said Greenland risks "being left with a country that cannot be used for anything" unless action is taken to preserve the natural environment.[6]
She became the minister for housing and infrastructure in November 2021.[7] As minister, she said that in response to new airport in Qaqortoq that may have an impact on one in Narsarsuaq, a working group should investigate.[8]
