Adventures citizens must get used to a new mayor.
on Monday, it is, in all probability, the 31-year-old jute from Fredericia Simon Aggesen, who will take over from Jørgen Glenthøj. Despite the low age, he has been member of the municipal council of copenhagen since 2009.
the News he was even in the mayor’s office on Friday.
– I was called into the office and thought, actually, that it had to be about something completely different. I was rarely quiet. I tend not to be afraid to say something, but it just had to sink in, says Simon Aggesen.
Simon Aggesen was in the last election touted to be a Mini-Mads after the previous vote-getter Mads Lebech. At the election he got 1.613, which is a lot for a non-executive member. Though not quite as good as Mads Lebech, that at the elections in 2003, with 17,000 votes. At the previous municipal elections had the whole of The Conservative Party of 20,000.
In the last election had the conservatives problems with maintaining power. Only 158 votes and the help of The Radical Left made sure that Jøgen Glenthøj continued in borgmestertronen.
It was clear that citizens desired an even broader cooperation in Frederiksberg. It has Jørgen Glenthøj delivered, and it is, I assume, if the local council wants it on Monday, says Simon Aggesen.
– You say that you are politically in line with the Glenthøj. But how will you separate yourself?
– Overall, it is here not a shift, but a generationskifte. I will continue to work for the Frederiksberg, people know and love, as was our valgslogan. But I am myself and a bit younger, and I hope that the citizens would take well to me. I can’t say which style I have, because I do not know before on Monday, he says.
Right now is Simon Aggesen employed as a lawyer in Mobilepay. In his valgvideo you can see him cycling around in copenhagen, to sit in cafe together with friends and eat breakfast with the wife and the son Carl Johan.
during his time as councilman, he has particularly been involved with the plans to build market halls behind Frederiksberg town Hall and instead throw the cars under the ground.
Simon Aggesen will not ‘commit hubris’ and therefore do not want to comment on the sale of The south Jutland Town of Blackstone, as Additional Leaf follows closely.
