Activities
A protest was held in Copenhagen on 19 January 2015, attended by approximately 150 people. An estimated fours times that many held a counter-demonstration.[1]
Ideology
According to Linda Pershing
- While public pronouncements (including websites and posters at rallies) by Pegidadk members emphasize 'no to violence and racism' and opposition to 'fundamentalist Islam', [Pegida Denmark leader, Nicolai] Sennels' profound xenophobia regarding Muslims, as well as Denmark's long (but not widely recognized) history of anti-immigrant traditions, betray disturbing connections to a history of racism and xenophobia in Danish cultural life'.[1]
