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 votes and was elected directly into parliament.

Personal life

Rosa Lund suffers from the medical condition sclerosis and has, since she made it public, made it part of her political agenda to better conditions for others who suffer from the same condition.

Sentence

On 6 October 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 followingthe Danish penal code's paragraph 264.
When Rosa Lund, as political education spokesman and MP for Red–Green Alliance in 2012, was interviewed by MetroXpress about the sentence she said:
The legal spokesmen of The [Conservative People's Party |Conservative] and Danish People's Party called the remark respectively ”problematic” and ”unheard-of”. In February 2021 Pernille Vermund asked in Parliament whether the quote to MetroXpress was still Rosa Lund's opinion. In response, Rosa Lund replied "No".
