Our Jotam Confino discusses with host Tracy Alexander. • Story: • The newly formed extreme right-wing party, Stram Kurs (Hard Line), accused of Nazi ties will enter the Danish parliament after the June 5 elections, according to an opinion poll published on May 10. • According to the poll by Megafon, Hard Line party would win 2,8% of the votes in the upcoming elections in Denmark, enough to enter the parliament. • Party leader Rasmus Paludan has caused major controversies in Denmark ahead of the elections by demonstrating in public places around the country, burning the Quran, promising to deport hundreds of thousands of Danish Muslims and banning Islam. • The Hard Line party leader's videos on YouTube have hundreds of thousands of views. • In April, Paludan demonstrated in Copenhagen's diverse neighborhood, Nørrebro, where large numbers of Muslims live, causing violent reactions to his anti-Muslim rhetoric. • Paludan's Hard Line party, whose philosophical foundation is ethnonationalism , says you need at least two grandparents of Danish origins to prove you are Danish. • Editor-in-chief of the Danish newspaper Weekendavisen , Martin Krasnik, called Paludan a Nazi in an editorial last week, saying he is clearly familiar with the Nuremberg laws, the anti-Semitic and racial laws in Nazi Germany. • Paludan denies having any associations with Nazism, calling it groundless and that he won't accept being labeled as a Nazi. • In a debate on live Danish TV on Wednesday, Paludan said former Danish lawmaker, Mimi Jakobsen reminded him of Adolf Hitler more than anyone in the world, causing wide condemnation from commentators and lawmakers across the political spectrum. • The TV channel, Danish Radio (DR), was condemned for not ending the interview after Paludan's Nazi accusation. • Danish media in general have been under fire for letting Paludan steal headlines on a daily basis, giving him a platform to promote his agenda. • A number of Danish journalists and media outlets, on the other hand, have argued that it's not a solution to ignore someone running for parliament, especially in light of the heated debate about free speech that erupted after Paludan demonstrated across the country. • In April, a Danish court found Paludan guilty of racism after he argued that people from Africa are less intelligent. Paludan later appealed the court ruling.
