"I want to make myself as obsolete as possible. If I do my job properly, there will soon be no need for it. The primary objective is: I will have succeeded if I am no longer relevant."
"Greenland and the Greenlandic people are to be the responsibility of the Greenlandic parliament and the Greenlandic government. There will no longer be any need for two seats representing Greenland in Copenhagen."
"The geopolitical drama has put a global spotlight on Greenland and Denmark's relationship and history. Modern colonisation of Greenland started with the support of what was then Denmark-Norway in 1721."
Qarsoq Hegh-Dam, a Greenlandic politician, emphasizes his goal of making himself obsolete by ensuring Greenland's autonomy. Elected to the Danish parliament, he represents the pro-independence Naleraq party. He envisions a future where Greenland's governance is solely the responsibility of its parliament in Nuuk, eliminating the need for representation in Copenhagen. Recent geopolitical tensions, including threats from Donald Trump regarding Greenland, have highlighted the island's significance. Greenland's history of colonization by Denmark dates back to 1721, with home rule established in 1979.
