It is clearthat Inuit Ataqatigiit has had a festive evening when you call the chairman this morning. Múte B. Egede has a hoarse voice.
– If my voice sounds a little strange, it’s because I shouted a lot yesterday. Otherwise, I’m not sick, says Múte B. Egede with a laugh.

Inuit Ataqatigiit retains his mandate in the Danish Parliament. At the general election in 2022, the party became the second largest, while Siumut was the largest. Now Inuit Ataqatigiit is again the largest party, and the chairman is pleased.
– I am happy and proud of our party’s stability in the work in Parliament, but also in our nationwide political work. We have persevered and I am proud that our work has so much trust. But I would also say that it obliges a lot.
A victory that cannot be ignored
Inuit Ataqatigiit’s party in Nuuk on Tuesday was significantly more lively than at the election for Inatsisartut last year. Back then, the atmosphere was more subdued, as the party became the third largest.
How will you use your location now?
– Firstly, it is about the Folketing, and with our position as the largest party, we have the best possible starting point to work for improvements in the population’s conditions – naturally together with the other elected members.
– But we also cannot ignore our further work at national level when we have support on such a large scale.
Naaja steps down as naalakkersuisoq: – We have a plan
Naaja H. Nathanielsen’s decision to stand for Parliament while she was a naalakkersuisoq has attracted criticism and debate. Now she is resigning and traveling to Denmark.
– We have had a plan from the start. Since Naaja decided to run, we’ve been preparing: if it happens, we’ll do it like this.
Do you already have a specific person in mind?
– We have a direction, and our main board will decide on it in the coming time. Then we move on from there.
Múte B. Egede says that the new Member of Parliament must travel to Denmark as soon as possible. But first there are tasks that must be solved here in Greenland.
– Today we are planning internal meetings in the party, but also meetings with the elected parties as well as with the parties that were not elected, he says.
It is still difficult to predict who will form a government in Denmark.
– The situation is very varied, and the voices are spread widely. Therefore, it seems that it will be difficult to form a majority on one side or the other. Our task is to ensure that it does not have a negative impact on our country, concludes Múte B. Egede.
