Copenhagen - Two dozen leading Danish personalities including a former prime minister, former foreign minister and former central bank governor Thursday signed a protest against a recent ad campaign sponsored by the populist Danish People's Party.
The party, which provides parliamentary backing for Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen's centre-right minority government, has run newspaper ads with a picture of a woman wearing a burka and wielding a judge's gavel. The poster's title is "Give us Denmark back."
