Frie Grønne has secured a seat in Copenhagen, and political leader Sikandar Siddique therefore appears to be on his way to City Hall.

As a result, Sikandar Siddique is also a happy, relieved, and very tired individual, whom DR News has just spoken to.

- It's fantastic, he says.

The party has attracted significant attention and criticism for its election posters with the slogan: "Free Copenhagen From Zionism."

It is particularly this poster that has fueled the debate about Frie Grønne. Critics call it anti-Semitic. (Photo: © Sebastian Elias Uth, Ritzau Scanpix)

'Let's talk tomorrow'

---------------------------

According to Sikandar Siddique, the party's clear position on the Israel-Palestine conflict has been one of the factors that have helped them in the campaign.

- I think we have managed to be a clear alternative to the status quo. And we have managed to be a clear voice for Palestine.

What will be your first communal political agenda, you will throw yourself over?

- I will of course have to speak with the rest of the party and the background about it. And when that is resolved, we will of course make it public.

- We are just happy now that the campaign was a success.

Your campaign has caused quite a stir...

- Thank you, but let's talk tomorrow. That was what I had in comments now, interrupts Sikandar Siddique.

Sikandar Siddique himself has also attracted attention, as a series of articles in Ekstra Bladet have cast doubt on whether Sikandar Siddique actually lives in Copenhagen, or if he is still living with his family in a house in Herlev. Siddique denies that he does not have a residence in Copenhagen.
