Hate Speech Laws In Denmark
Hate speech in Denmark is outlawed by § 266b of the penal code, colloquially called the racism paragraph (''racismeparagraffen''), which outlaws threats, mockery and degradation against groups defined by race, skin colour, nationality, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation. The law was originally introduced in 1939, prompted by the antisemitism of 1930s Germany, which had spread to Denmark.

The number of convictions rose from 1 to 12 in the same period.

Fremskridtspartiet
The Progress Party ( da, Fremskridtspartiet, ''FrP'') is a right-wing populist political party in Denmark which was founded in 1972. The party's founder, the former lawyer Mogens Glistrup, gained widespread popularity as well as notoriety in the country after he appeared on Danish television, stating that he paid 0% in income tax.

In the late 1970s, its agenda was "the gradual abolition of income tax, the disbandment of most of the civil service, the abolition of the diplomatic service and the scrapping of 90% of all legislation".

The party entered the Danish parliament after the 1973 landslide election and immediately became the second largest party in Denmark.
