Anders Primdahl Vistisen (born 12 November 1987) is a Danish politician and Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from Denmark. He is a member of the Danish People's Party and was elected chief whip of the Patriots for Europe Group in the European Parliament.[1] He was the Spids kandidat (lead candidate) selected to represent the Identity and Democracy group in the European Parliament election of 2024.[2]
Political career
He was the national chairman of the youth section of the party in the period 2012–2015. In 2013, he concluded his studies in Master of Laws from Aarhus University.[3] In 2014 he was elected as member of the European Parliament for Denmark as a representative for European Conservatives and Reformists.[4]
On 1 March 2018, Vistisen was one of three Danish MEPs who voted against a motion to encourage national parliaments to ban "gay conversion therapies".[5]
In 2019 European Parliament election, the Danish People's Party lost more than half of their votes and two of their three seats, including Vistisen's.[6]
On 22 November 2022, he became member of the parliament once again.
He is set to represent the Identity and Democracy Party in the transnational 2024 European Parliament election debates.
In January 2025, during a debate regarding Trump's discussion about taking over Greenland, Vistisen gave a speech in which he said: "It is not for sale. Let me put it into words you might understand, Mr. Trump: fuck off." His speech later went viral on social media,[7] though he was reprimanded by European Parliament Vice President Nicolae Ștefănuță for his use of profanity.
