At the end of October, Denmark welcomed a new patriotic organisation: Ungdanskerne. With the slogan ‘YOUNG, DANISH, PROUD’, the organisation presents itself as a patriotic, comradely and activist youth movement that will fight for ‘our shared past, present and future’.
The movement describes itself as a response to what it perceives as a failure on the part of the established mainstream parties. It does not just want to talk, but to take action – and made its mark with concrete actions just days after its launch.
– We are the future, and the future is Danish
On Saturday 24 October, Ungdanskerne carried out their first public action in the form of a ‘banner drop’ at Sønderthon, a 342-hour live-streamed entertainment project that ran in October. The choice of location was deliberate: the gaming, streaming and social media scene reaches many young Danes. The message was clear – remigration and raising awareness of what the organisation calls ‘the obvious demographic problems’ and ‘population replacement’ in Denmark.

That same weekend, a launch meeting was held at Christiansborg. According to the organisation itself, attendance was on a par with that of the established youth parties.
– This is just the beginning. We are the future, and the future is Danish,” they wrote in their presentation.
Denmark’s new patriotic youth movement!
Yesterday we launched a new youth movement with a vision for a Danish future and a consistent remigration agenda. We are the answer to the failure that the established mainstream parties have been responsible for far too long!

The organisation has already established several local branches and runs the website ungdanskerne.dk.
Danish identity under threat in Denmark
At the heart of Ungdanskerne’s agenda is remigration – a policy of repatriating non-Western immigrants and their descendants – combined with a clear focus on Denmark’s indigenous population. They wish to halt and reverse what they regard as a demographic trend that threatens Danish identity within the nation of Denmark.
Furthermore, they demand that Denmark be the homeland of the Danish people, and that Danish sovereignty take precedence over supranational institutions and conventions. Their approach is activist; young people are encouraged to get involved away from their screens.

The movement goes beyond a passive ‘keep Denmark Danish’ stance. It advocates an active policy to ensure that Denmark remains a country for the Danes for generations to come.
The Danish people, an extended family
According to participants at the launch meeting, Ungdanskerne emphasise a traditional Danish self-image rooted in a popular interpretation of Christianity. The Christian cultural heritage is highlighted as part of Danish values and identity. This is in addition to the idea of the Danish people as an extended family.
The organisation presents itself as a cultural-patriotic movement. Christianity is referred to primarily as a historical and cultural foundation, not as dogma. This places them within a tradition familiar from several Nordic national-conservative and identitarian circles.
Ungdanskerne is closely linked to the existing identitarian and remigration-oriented circles in Denmark, including Generation Identitær and RemigrationNu. Several members of these circles were present at the launch.
