The Motzfeldt III cabinet was the third government in Greenland . It was formed after the 1984 election to the Inatsisartut .

Emergence

Just one year after the Inatsisartut election in 1983, Aqqaluk Lynge refused to support the Siumut in March 1984 as party leader of the Inuit Ataqatigiit due to political differences in fisheries matters with the European Community . As a year before, Siumut and Atassut won the same number of seats in the June election, but each one less than in 1983, while the IA now had three seats. This time, in contrast to the previous year, it was again the Siumut that received the most votes. All three coalition options were able to achieve a majority and the Inuit Ataqatigiit did not rule out a conservative-left coalition with the Atassut either. On June 17th, Jonathan Motzfeldt announced that all previous Siumut ministers would remain in office and that two new ministries would go to the Inuit Ataqatigiit.
