Denk (Dutch:[dɛŋk], Turkish:[dæɲc]; Dutch for 'think' and Turkish for 'equal' / 'balanced'),[19] legally registered as Politieke Beweging Denk ("Political Movement Denk"),[20] is a political party in the Netherlands, founded on a minority rights platform.[21]
Although the party has been colloquially described as a "Muslim political party", Denk "does not promote Muslim candidates as do most similar political parties in Europe".[12] Denk's current party leader and lijsttrekker in the House of Representatives, Stephan van Baarle, is an agnostic.[23]
