Education

Lund studied at the University of Copenhagen between 2009-2018 and has a bachelor's degree in political science and a master's degree in law.[2]

Political career

Lund was first elected into parliament at the 2011 election, where she received 1,150 votes. She ran again at the 2015 election, receiving 1,463 votes. Despite this being more votes than she received at the 2011 election, it wasn't enough for a parliamentary seat. This result led her to become the Red-Green Alliance's primary substitute in the Copenhagen constituency. She was called upon once during the term, acting as substitute for Johanne Schmidt-Nielsen from 5 March 2018 to 28 February 2019. At the 2019 election, she received 3,653 and was elected directly into parliament.[3][4][5][6]

Sentence

On October 6, 2007, Rosa Lund broke into a private property on Grøndalsvænge Allé in Copenhagen's North East in connection with the abolishment of the Youth House on Jagtvej 69. She was arrested by police and subsequently fined DKK 750 for illegal intrusion following Danish penal code's paragraph 264.

When Rosa Lund as political education spokesman and MP for Red–Green Alliance in 2012 was interviewed to MetroXpress about the sentence she said:

It's a bit hard to answer whether I'd do anything illegal again. It depends on the case. If there are people who are unfairly treated, asylum seekers for instance, then it can become necessary to break the law.[7][8]

The legal spokesmen of Conservative and Danish People's Party called the remark respectively ”problematic” and ”unheard-of”. In February 2021 Pernille Vermund (NB) asked in Parliament whether the quote to MetroXpress was still Rosa Lund's opinion. In response Rosa Lund replied "No".1:13:24
