Exactly

Free speech in Denmark is not the same as free speech in UK, US, Germany, Austria or whatever.

Nazi organisations are not even illegal here. They may print their magazines and broadcast. They even joined the government election few years ago. In fact their nazi radio broadcast was government sponsored, with some smaller symbolic amounts, for several years. Not because they wanted it, but because the laws are built in a way that no one shall be discriminated and have limited freedom or free speech.
