It is one of the Greenlandic policy's old ring foxes, which will now chair the new self-government committee in the Greenlandic parliament, the county council. Aqqaluk Lynge was appointed as chair of the self-government committee last week.
Aqqaluk Lynge has been central to Greenlandic politics ever since before the world's largest island was introduced to home rule in 1979. Aqqaluk Lynge was instrumental in founding the party Inuit Ataqatigiit. He joined party politics in the mid-XNUMXs to become the leader of the world's Inuit in the organization ICC. Last year he was re-elected to the Greenland County Council for IA.
Aqqaluk Lynge says the committee is now waiting for a joint commission to be set up for Greenland. This commission shall appoint the Greenlandic Government.
With the committee, Aqqaluk Lynge has been appointed leader of the Democratic Party, Per Berthelsen, as deputy leader. Berthelsen was also one of the central figures in the seventies when Greenland fought for more independence and got home rule. Outside Greenland, Per Berthelsen is best known as a vocalist in the band Sume, who through his lyrics has tried to build a strong sense of self among the Inuit.
In addition to Lynge and Berthelsen, the following are also members of the self-government committee: Per Rosing Petersen and Ruth Heilmann from Siumut and Jensine Berthelsen from Atassut.
