The Danish People’s Party was founded in October 1995, after Pia Kjærsgaard and Kristian Dahl resigned from the Progress Party. In June 1996, the right-wing populist party held its first national convention where Pia Kjærsgaard was decisively chosen as the party’s chairwoman until 2012 when she passed the leadership on to Kristian Dahl. The Progress Party’s “anarchistic circumstances” and its “all or nothing” principles prompted the formation of the DF.
