The office has been cleared out and the boxes are stacked in the corner. It is time to move on for Aaja Chemnitz, who in a few hours will no longer be a member of the Folketing for Inuit Ataqatigiit.
– I am happy. The decision has been made, and I have been waiting for this day.
After 11 years of long working days and nights, something else is going to happen, and what it is, Aaja Chemnitz will not yet say.
– I have already received many offers, but I will say that I am picky and only take the top shelf in relation to my next step. However, I could well imagine coming back home to Greenland, she says with a smile.
"Insanely important" to get around and inform about Greenland
Whether one of the new members from Greenland will take over Aaja Chemnitz's office is still unknown, but a good piece of advice from the experienced Christiansborg politician is that the new members should make sure to make themselves known on the polished floors.
- It is insanely important that they get around to the parliamentary groups and give presentations about Greenland. You must not lock yourself into a single party. You must make sure to cooperate broadly with all parties, says Aaja Chemnitz and continues:
- Because Greenland's politics are not bloc politics. Regardless of which government comes to power in Denmark, all parties must look after Greenlandic interests. That is why you have to spend time getting to know people, and they have to get to know you, says Aaja Chemnitz, who is aiming to stay at the Parliament one last evening - for the election party.
