Janne Kankaala stared into the darkness at the Finnish border and decided to leave. In Norway, he feels he got a new chance. Now Kankaala leads a small municipality with an annual salary of 1.2 million kroner. The row of windows in the study opens up to a view of the fjord and the mountains.
Hadsel, Norway
Municipal hall is like any office building from the 1970s.
There is a concrete frame, a flat roof and a coat of arms at the end of the house. The chairs in the lobby are upholstered in orange and electric blue. The notice board advertises muscari, the church collection and upcoming theater performances.
