The Party of the Danes was founded by Daniel Carlsen and other former members of the National Socialist Movement of Denmark (DNSB) on 10 June 2011.[8]
The party ran for municipal councils in 2013, but did not win any seats. In 2015 it started collecting signatures in order to get on the ballot for the next national election, and in April 2016 the party claimed to have collected half the necessary signatures.[9] On 24 June 2017, the party announced that Daniel Carlsen had decided to retire from politics to concentrate on his family, and that the rest of the leadership therefore had decided to close the party.[10]
