Profession and Politics

Sámal Petur í Grund completed his training as an electrical mechanic in 1980 and worked on factory ships until 1985 . From 1986 to 1991 he was a seaman's missionary and from 1991 to 1993 he went to sea himself. He received a seaman's license in 1994 and has been working as a helmsman and skipper at Strandfaraskip Landsins (SSL), which operates the ferry service between the islands in the Faroe Islands, since 2002 .

Sámal Petur í Grund was Minister for Communication, Culture, Tourism and Shipping in the Faroese state governments from 1994 to 1997 Edmund Joensen I (1994-1996) and Edmund Joensen II (1996-1998). On December 1, 1997 he was dismissed by Edmund Joensen because he considered the additional 40 million kroner demanded by í Grund for the tunneling under Vestmannasund as irresponsible and Sámal Petur í Grund then sought support for his plans from the opposition. The Sjálvstýrisflokkurin left the ruling coalition as a result.

In the subsequent elections in April 1998 he succeeded in getting to the Faroese Parliament (Løgting) through a compensatory mandate as a member of the Sjálvstýrisflokkurin , to which he was a member until 2002.

Sámal Petur í reason was to succeed Helena Dam á Neystabø on 26 February 2001 Minister of Social Affairs and Health in the state government anfinn kallsberg I . He stayed that way until May 2002.

When Helena Dam á Neystabø, who had been party leader of the Sjálvstýrisflokkurin since 1994, withdrew her candidacy for party chairmanship in early November 2001 after disagreements with Sámal Petur í Grund (and later left the party to join the social democratic Javnaáarflokkurin in early 2002 ) Petur í Grund elected the new party chairman on November 10, 2001. However, he gave this post a good two weeks later, on November 27, to his deputy Eyðun Elttør .

In the Løgtingswahl on January 19, 2008, Sámal Petur í Grund ran again as a member of the Sjálvstýrisflokkurin, but could only achieve the fourth-best result within his party with 194 personal votes. He was then on the list of successors in second place and in 2009 represented Kári á Rógvi for some time.

In 2011 he finally moved with others from Sjálvstýrisflokkurin to the newly founded liberal-separatist progress party Framsókn by Poul Michelsen . In the Løgtingswahl 2011 he ran for a seat of parliament, but could only achieve the fifth best result within Framsókn with 111 personal votes.

In 2015, his party put him up again as a candidate in the Løgtings election. But this time he only came in eleventh place with 67 personal votes.
