Danish People’s Party (Dansk Folkeparti, DF)

Dan­ish People’s Par­ty (Dan­sk Folkepar­ti, DF) is a nation­al con­ser­v­a­tive polit­i­cal par­ty in Den­mark, found­ed on 6 Octo­ber 1995 by break­away mem­bers of the Progress Par­ty. The par­ty advances a patri­ot­ic, wel­fare-chau­vin­ist agen­da: defend­ing Dan­ish cul­ture, her­itage, and Luther­an iden­ti­ty; pro­mot­ing strict immi­gra­tion con­trols; reject­ing mul­ti­cul­tur­al­ism; and main­tain­ing the wel­fare state as a priv­i­lege for native Danes. DF is also strong­ly Euroscep­tic, call­ing for nation­al sov­er­eign­ty, oppos­ing deep­er EU inte­gra­tion, and oppos­ing the euro. It rose to become the sec­ond largest par­ty in Den­mark by 2015, but has since suf­fered a sig­nif­i­cant elec­toral decline as oth­er par­ties absorbed its core issues and inter­nal lead­er­ship crises erod­ed its base.
