In May 2019, Danmarks Radio broadcast a documentary about child abuse in Tasiilaq , which sparked a political discussion and ultimately led to Demokraatit dissolving the ten-year coalition with the IA in the communeqarfik Sermersooq because of the poor work of the mayor. Asii had previously criticized the fact that the Democrats continued to support Kim Kielsen's minority government from Siumut and Nunatta Qitornai . On June 11, Asii Chemnitz Narup resigned as mayor.
