On Saturday, September 5, the Danish capital Copenhagen witnessed a demonstration organized by the group \u00abDet Danske Folk\u00bb, meaning \u00abDanish People\u00bb, under the slogan calling for \u00abrepatriation\u00bb, which can be translated as \u201crepatriating immigrants to their homelands\u201d, and the march witnessed the appearance of people performing a salute similar to the Nazi salute, in addition to the participation of masked people and clashes with anti-racism demonstrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Right-wing march raises the slogan "Return Immigration"\u00ab<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The march moved through the streets of the \u00d8sterbro district of Copenhagen, on a day that saw a counter-demonstration against racism and discrimination organized in the same area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Danish sources reported that the group "Det Danske Folk" organized what it called a "repatriation march," while other groups organized a counter-demonstration in the area. Footage from the event shows that participants in both marches gathered in close proximity, leading to tension and clashes throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The march included a number of people who wore black clothes and covered their faces, while a large number of other participants wore clothes in red and white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the Danish research group Redox, which monitored the event on the ground, the march included people associated with far-right environments and hardline football fan groups. The group estimated the number of participants at around 500 to 700 people, a much lower number than the organizers had announced they expected before the demonstration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nazi salute in front of the cameras<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n During the march, photos and videos documented people extending their arms in a gesture resembling the Nazi salute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The images spread across social media over the weekend, sparking angry political and public reactions, especially since the scenes took place in the streets of the Danish capital and in front of passersby. One of the images shows a man extending his arm in front of the \u00d8sterport station area, while a number of march participants appear around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The documentation of the incident did not rely on a single image, as video recordings later emerged from the location showing the same man performing the action, along with the appearance of other identifiable individuals in the images taken from the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A TV 2 review of the video footage showed that the man's movement matched the movement seen in the images, making the incident documented from more than one visual source, which dispels claims that the images were altered using artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Angry political reactions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Images of the Nazi salute drew criticism from Danish politicians, and the political spokesman for the Unity List party, Pelle Dragsted, posted a picture of the scene on social media, condemning the appearance of the Nazi salute during the demonstration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mohammad Rona, the political spokesman for the Moderate Party, also posted the same picture, saying that what appeared in the demonstration did not represent the Denmark he belongs to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These statements come amid a wider debate in Denmark about the growing activity of far-right groups and their use of \u00abrepatriation\u00bb rhetoric in protests related to immigration, Islam and national identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Masked men involved in clashes with protesters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The events of the day were not limited to the Nazi salute, as the march also witnessed the participation of a large group of masked people who wore black clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Redox said these included people linked to hardcore football fan groups, estimating their number at around 60 to 80, and noting that there were individuals associated with the fan environments of several Danish clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Organizers deny the march's responsibility for the violence.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The organizers' spokesperson, Cyrus Razavi, responded to Redox's criticism, saying that the description of the day's events was, in his view, distorted. The spokesperson confirmed that one person performed the Nazi salute during the march, but said that this person was removed from the march, according to TV2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He also denied that the organizers of the demonstration had allowed the violence, and said that the march participants were not responsible for the actions of specific individuals, stressing that the organizers intervened when acts of violence occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said that the organizers do not tolerate violence, and that members of the group who wore black clothing were removed from the march.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He also refused to hold thousands of participants responsible for the actions of specific individuals, and stressed that the demonstration, according to his account, included a large number of people who participated peacefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The march is the largest of its kind, according to Redox estimates.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Redox considered the size of the turnout at the march to be remarkable compared to previous far-right demonstrations in Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The group estimated the number of participants to be between 500 and 700 people, with the possibility of adjusting the number after completing a review of the photos taken during the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Redox, this number makes the march one of the largest demonstrations organized by far-right circles in Denmark since the end of World War II, exceeding, according to its estimates, the number of participants in previous demonstrations linked to the English Defence League in Aarhus in 2012 and to Pegida in Copenhagen in 2015, which were estimated to have had around 300 participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A debate that goes beyond the issue of immigration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Saturday's events put the Nazi salute issue at the forefront of the debate surrounding the demonstration, along with the discussion regarding the "repatriation" speech put forward by the organizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the march organizers confirmed that the participants who gave the Nazi salute were removed and that they did not represent the rest of the participants, the appearance of these gestures within a march linked to the far right sparked widespread political criticism, especially in light of the participation of masked individuals and clashes with anti-racism demonstrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Images and videos emerging from Copenhagen showed that the Nazi salute was not just a claim circulating on social media, but cameras documented scenes of people performing similar movements during the march, thus turning the \u00abDet Danske Folk\u00bb demonstration from a movement raising demands related to immigration and national identity into an event that sparked a wide debate about the presence of symbols and behaviors associated with Nazism and the extreme right in the Danish street, in addition to the confrontations that accompanied the march between its participants and its opponents.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u0634\u0647\u062f\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0627\u0635\u0645\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0646\u0645\u0627\u0631\u0643\u064a\u0629
