Morten Messerschmidt (DF) was late Thursday evening highly critical of the inclusion of member of the Danish parliament from Greenland Aki-Matilda Høegh-Dam, who, during his ordførertale in the Parliamentary åbningsdebat spoke for greenlandic independence.
During the questions to the Høegh-Dam used Messerscmidt bl.a. the 22-year-old greenlandic politician’s past as Miss Denmark-participating against her.
– I do not understand the rapporteur’s talk, why she uses the past to that would deprive future generations of greenlanders, the privileges she has enjoyed. As I understand it, is the rapporteur born in Hillerød, denmark, studied at Copenhagen University, and has made up a contest called the Miss Denmark. That is, he has benefited from it, that is Denmark, it sounded read sarcastically from Messerschmidt.

– If the rapporteur so that the incarnate would like to have autonomy, how to blend it so that she has benefited from the fruits, which is Denmark, and why should future generations do not enjoy the same fruits.
Aki-Matilda Høegh-Dam did not reply directly on the hard criticism from the Messerschmidt, but stressed that it is not done to deny Denmark’s colonial history in Greenland.
– I don’t know if independence ends up with to have an idea of that we just want to shut ourselves of from Denmark and the rest of the world. I agree that we must know our past to shape our future. By denying and denying, we are not on.
Høegh-Dam’s speech was also stamped by the DF’s Søren Espersen as ‘hate’, because Siumut-the politician demands an apology from Denmark. Something that, according to Espersen ‘never going to happen, if the Danish people’s Party have something to say’.
this was Preceded by a ten minute long speech, which made a great impression on many folketingspolitikere.
Particularly Denmark’s role during the seizure of the greenlandic children in the 1950s threw harsh words from the 22-year-old greenlander, which constitutes one of the Danish parliament’s two greenlandic mandates and represents the party Siumut.
– It starts with a common recognition of our history of good and evil. It starts with an apology. The Danish state has had a crucial role in the experiment with the greenlandic children in the 1950s, as the opposite, the intention has done serious harm to many people. The excuse, they deserve living from the experiment, it sounded from Aki-Matilda Høegh-Dam, while the seriousness fell over åbningsdebatten, where the atmosphere is otherwise often can be cheerful.
Including, there are also those who have experienced the damage of the colonial mentality, which has led on family relations, with increased violence, alcohol, drug abuse, which, unfortunately, has been led on to the next generations. To us, it sounded from the newly elected greenlandic member.
the Speech was Mette Frederiksen to personally thank Aki-Matilda Høegh-Dam subsequently, shows a tweet from the greenlandic politician.

And from the podium, the prime minister said that she has difficulty finding words when the conversation is about the greenlandic children
– I had moments when I was at the podium, where the time went in the stand … and the kids and Greenland. I can’t find the words for it, said Mette Frederiksen’s collection at the debate late Thursday evening.
– It is something strange, when there is a natural disaster in Greenland, so reminder to check with the big preparedness. When children are being raped, fallen, omsorgssvigtet, then we’re talking. And I’m glad the real, which fell. I’m glad that we talk so openly about it now.
– It was suggested in the debate that the apology would never fall. So, I would like to stress now, that I think it should fall.
