Mr Simmons, who handled media for the EDL before launching the European
Freedom Initiative in 2010, said he tries to vet those launching and heading
sister organisations in other countries.
“We check them out as best as we can,” he said. “We look around
and make sure that they’re not linked to any neo-Nazi organisations, and if
they’re found to have any such links we turn them down.”
Philip Traulsen, a 34-year-old veteran of Denmark’s extreme Right, who is
preparing for the demo in Mortensen’s absence, said police were keeping him
behind bars for as long as possible to disable the movement.
“It’s a perfectly reasonable strategy,” he said. “Cut off the
head and hope the organisation crumbles.”
The Aarhus demo has mobilised militant anti-fascist groups from across Europe .
Projekt Antifa, a coalition of anti-fascist groups has booked six buses to
take protesters from Copenhagen to Aarhus on 31 March for what it is
describing as ” the capital’s biggest anti-fascist mobilisation for
more than ten years.”
