The way that demonstrations in Copenhagen have been handled over the past few days has confirmed the concerns that arose when the Liberal-Conservative-Danish People’s Party bloc in Parliament rushed through the so—called Hooligan Package. The use of force has been completely out of proportion to the number of hooded hooligans.
Contrary to the reasonable concerns in recent weeks that imported anarchists would transform the capital into a war zone – fears that were stimulated by the Security and Intelligence Agency (PET) that compared the threat to that of al-Qaeda – the reality is luckily that the majority of the black-clad activists are young people who could be handled with classical police methods.
