Which party was Jóannes Patursson a member of between Sep 1939 and Jun 1944?
Jóannes Patursson Jóannes Patursson ( May 6 , 1866 – August 2 , 1946 ) was a Faroese nationalist leader and poet . He served as a member of the Parliament of Denmark and the Parliament of the Faroe Islands . Background . Jóannes was born in 1866 as the eldest son of a wealthy farmer in Kirkjubøur . He was the great-grandson of the Faroese national hero Nólsoyar Páll ( originally , Poul Poulsen Nolsøe ) . His brother Sverri Patursson was an important writer and his sister Susanna Helena Patursson the first feminist of the Faroe Islands . The so-called Kings Farm of Kirkjubøur dates back to the 11th century , was the seat of the Faroese bishop until the 1536 Reformation and became — and still remains today — the greatest Royal Danish fief of the Faroese when King Christian III of Denmark confiscated the clerical properties . On the traditional farmstead he grew up in an environment where Faroese folklore was especially cultivated . Here people had gathered for centuries for the daily Kvøldseta , the evening get-together , where old tales would be told , Faroese ballads would be sung and the Faroese dance was popular . All this happened at a time when the Faroese language was only just being committed to writing due to this oral tradition . National movement . Jóannes was sent to Norway for an apprenticeship in farming . There he came across the Norwegian national movement that was fighting to prevent the Norwegian language from being assimilated by Danish . At home in Tórshavn , the Faroese capital near the Patursson farm , Danish was at the time the overwhelmingly dominant language . Still it was a time of national awakening . Already in 1856 the Danish trading monopoly had been lifted from the Faroe Islands and the islanders were experiencing a fast development from a medieval agricultural society to a modern nation of fishermen . In 1888 , the Faroese national movement was officially created at the legendary Christmas Meeting , Jóannes Patursson being one of the main actors . Especially for this occasion he wrote a battle hymn , Nú er tann stundin komin til handa ( Now is the hour come for acting ) . Allegedly , the 22-year-old Patursson was too timid to present his hymn at the meeting , so his older compatriot Rasmus Effersøe was selected . Although Nú er tann stundin komin til handa does not reach the quality of Paturssons later poetry , it became a symbol of the struggle of the Faroese language and culture which , for example , was later to be Janus Djurhuus linguistic baptism . Political career . In 1901 , at the age of 35 , Patursson was elected to the Løgting ( Faroese parliament ) for the first time , he was a member of the Løgting from 1901 til 1946 . He was member of the Parliament of Denmark 1901–06 , as one of two Faroese members , representing the Faroe Islands , and again in the periods 1918-1920 and 1928–1936 , this time in the Landsting ( there were two chambers before 1935 ) . In 1903 he published his book Færøsk politik ( Faroese politics ) in which he formulates five guidelines : 1 . The Løgting is elected by the entire people and is led by a chairman and his substitute . 2 . The Ombudsman of the Realm participates in the sessions but he himself has no voting right . 3 . No law of the Faroe Islands becomes effective without approval by the Løgting . 4 . The Løgting may suggest laws which can be directly approved by the chairman . 5 . Under the supervision of the chairman , the Løgting gains control of Faroese finances . At the time , such demands were revolutionary , while today they are the basis of Faroese politics . In 1906 , Patursson founded the Independence Party , Sjálvstýrisflokkurin . In 1939 he was again co-founder of a party , the Peoples Party , Fólkaflokkurin , becoming their vice-chairman .
