COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) -Denmark’s domestic security on Tuesday designated pandemic-linked “antigovernmental extremism” as a menace for the first time ever.
The agency, known by its Danish acronym PET, said in its annual assessment that although this type of extremism is not “a significant driving force for the terrorist threat” in the country, it does make the situation “more complex.”
PET said the menace which expresses the need to use violence against elected representatives, had appeared in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Michael Hamann, head of PET’s Center for Terror Analysis that analyzes the threat of terrorism against Denmark and Danish interests abroad, said the vast majority of instances where authorities were heavily criticized for their handling of the pandemic unfolded peacefully.
Hamann cited examples where such criticism has been expressed by “threats and intimidation” in Denmark, while there have been examples abroad “of planning or carrying out actual violent acts.”
But he said in a statement that the threat from antigovernment extremism is “limited in level.”
The general terrorism threat Denmark is “serious”, defined as having the “capacity, intention and planning,” PET said. Militant Islamism still constitutes the most significant terrorist threat against the Scandinavian country and Danish interests abroad.
However, the risk that the Danish population would be affected by terrorism remains “very low.”

A menace to who?
Denmark succumbed so readily to their German overlords in WWII. They surrendered in...six hours. Shameful.
Something rotten in the State of Denmark.
“threats and intimidation”
Like the politicians threatening and intimidating all citizens to inject an experimental substance in to their bodies?
The Pharma Fascist State.
So basically, the normal average citizen is considered a terrorist now.
It means the politicians are afraid of the common people. Good!
The virus loves to hang around on the beaches.
Time to rid governments everywhere of such fascist wanna
be people.
