Sunday’s protest, the largest in Denmark for over a decade, is part of an upsurge of working-class opposition across Europe to the ruling elite’s determination to make them bear the cost of militarism and war through social spending cuts and attacks on wages and worker rights.
Denmark is holding a landmark referendum on whether to end three decades of opting out of EU defense policy. The vote was called after Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine. Polls suggest a lead for the "Yes" campaign.
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Danes' voting "Yes" in the referendum sent "a clear signal" to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Germany celebrated the vote, saying it makes Europe stronger.
