Solidarity (Atassut) is a conservative-liberal[1] and agrarian political party in Greenland and a partner of the Danish Venstre party. At the 2005 legislative elections, the party won 19.1% of the popular vote and six out of 31 seats. In the June 2009 snap election the party dropped to 10.9% of the vote, and lost 3 of its 6 seats. In the 2013 elections the party was reduced to two seats.

The party supports Greenland's continued place as an autonomous province within the Kingdom of Denmark.
