Contents
History
DI was reportedly co-founded by Lars Hedegaard and his close associate Ingrid Carlqvist.[2]
Carlqvist's LinkedIn page states that she had been 'editor in chief' since 2012.[3]
Its launch was reportedly announced at Counterjihad Brussels 2012 conference and the following rationale rationale and statement of its aims provided:
- We decided to call it Dispatch International because our vision is that this newspaper will become worldwide one day. But first we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin. Or rather – first we take Scandinavia and then we take the world![4]
Activities
An edition of the newspaper available online, published 30 August 2012, states that the publication will be published 'every Thursday in Danish, Swedish, English and German'.[5]
The publication has carried interviews with many counterjihad activists including Henrik Rönnquist[6] and Tommy Robinson.[7]
Pegida Sweden links
According to English language translations of Swedish press reports, DI supporters were involved in the first, poorly attended protest of Pegida Swerige, an attempt to start a movement similar to the PEGIDA protests seen in Germany.[8].
