Народний рух проти ЄС

The Danish People's Movement against the EU is a political party in Denmark that is characterized by its critical stance towards the European Union. Founded in 1972, the movement emerged in response to Denmark's entry into the European Economic Community (EEC), the precursor to the EU. Its formation was driven by a coalition of individuals and groups from across the political spectrum, including left-wing activists, trade unionists, and nationalists, all united by a skepticism towards European integration and a desire to protect Danish sovereignty.

The core values of the Dan…  ish People's Movement against the EU revolve around the belief that Denmark should retain as much independence as possible from supranational bodies, particularly the European Union. The party argues that EU membership imposes too many restrictions on Denmark's ability to make its own laws and policies, especially in areas such as agriculture, fisheries, and environmental standards. They are concerned that the EU's centralizing tendencies threaten national identity, democracy, and the welfare state.

The movement advocates for a more democratic and transparent EU, if not a complete withdrawal from the Union. It supports the idea of a Europe based on cooperation between sovereign nations rather than a federal European state. The Danish People's Movement against the EU also emphasizes the importance of protecting workers' rights, social security, and the environment, reflecting its roots in left-wing ideology and labor movements.

Throughout its history, the movement has participated in European Parliament elections, securing representation and using its position to challenge further European integration from within. Despite the changing political landscape and varying levels of public support for the EU within Denmark, the Danish People's Movement against the EU has remained a consistent voice advocating for national sovereignty, democratic accountability, and social justice in the context of European affairs.
