DANISH PEOPLE'S PARTY
The Right Wing Nationalist Party was reacting against a new breed of Danish immigrant—especially Muslims who instead of coming to Denmark for its freedom and other values of tolerance, came for economic reasons and did not adopt toleration of others and freedom as basic values.
The Danish People's Party (DPP) (Danish: Dansk Folkeparti, DF) is a political party in Denmark that is generally described as right-wing populist by academics and far-right by international media. It has also been described in academia and the media as a nativist and anti-immigrant party. The party was founded in 1995 by Pia Kjærsgaard, who was the leader of the party until 2012, when she passed the leadership on to Kristian Thulesen Dahl. The DPP lent its support to the Liberal-Conservative government that ruled from the general election of 2001 until the 2011 election defeat. While not part of the cabinet, DPP cooperated closely with the governing coalition on most issues and received support for key political stances in return, to the point that the government was commonly referred to as the "VKO-government" (O being DPP's election symbol). It also provided parliamentary support to Lars Løkke Rasmussen's cabinets from 2016 to 2019, again without participating in it.
