Daniel Stokholm

Daniel Stokholm (born Daniel Carlsen on 27 March 1990), is a Danish former nationalist politician and former neo-Nazi.

Stokholm has been exposed in the media in 2008 and 2009, as chairman of the Party of the Danes, as he was previously a Nazi, according to his own statements.

He has been a member of the Danish National Socialist Movement (Danmarks Nationalsocialiste Bevægelse, DNSB) and was one of its front figures until February 2011 when he left the movement.

On 10 June 2011, Stokholm formed his own party, the Party of the Danes.

On 19 November 2013, he ran for election for the first time in connection with the municipal and regional council elections. In the Central Jutland Region, he received 1,087 votes, and in the local elections in Aarhus 391 votes. However, the number of votes obtained was not sufficient for representation in either the region or the municipality.

On 24 June 2017, Stokholm announced that he was withdrawing from politics, and therefore, his party was then abolished, as when For Freedom held its annual folk festival; but DP members had not been informed in advance and therefore first received the message through the press.

Daniel Carlsen was born on 27 March 1990.

From the age of 17, Stokholm was a member of the Danish National Socialist Movement (DNSB) until February 2011, when he resigned, and later on 10 June the same year formed his own party: the Party of the Danes.

At the public meeting on Bornholm in 2015, Özlem Cekic participated in a debate on Danishness in the Party of the Danes' tent. In this connection, Stokholm stated: "It is not too funny that I want to send you home, Özlem. It is a necessity; I can not base my politics on your sweet, brown eyes."

Denial of the Holocaust

In several of Stokholm's previous statements, he denied anything in regards of the Holocaust.

In an interview with Anders Stegger leading up to the local elections in 2013, Stokholm stated: "I do not deny the Holocaust".
