(Copenhagen Post) The Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Interior has confirmed that Stram Kurs (Hard Line) will contest the 2019 general election alongside 12 other political parties (see below) in Denmark.
The party, which was founded in 2017 by the extreme Islam critic Rasmus Paludan, will take the letter P on the ballot in an election that must take place by June 17 at the latest.
Until early last month its chances of receiving the necessary 20,109 voter declarations looked remote, but then the police and media did their bit in raising the party’s profile when one of Paludan’s demonstrations sparked off a riot in Nørrebro on April 14.
