BERLIN. — Germany’s “anti-Islamisation” movement Pegida is expanding into other European nations, with its Danish branch staging its first rally on Monday. Opposition to their message is also growing stronger, as people viewing them as bigots take to the streets.
Initially based in Dresden, the self-styled “Patriotic Europeans Against Islamization of the West” (PEGIDA) is spreading its weekly ‘night strolls’ into other European countries. In Copenhagen, the Danish PEGIDA branch staged its inaugural rally on Monday.
Some 200 anti-Islamisation activists showed up for the event facilitated with the help of local anti-immigrant organisations. Smaller demonstrations took place in Aarhus, Denmark’s second-largest city, and Esbjerg. — RT.
