Denk (Dutch pronunciation:[dɛŋk]; Dutch for "think" and Turkish for "equal" or "balanced"[18]) is a political party in the Netherlands, founded on a minority rights platform.[19] It is legally registered as "Politieke Beweging Denk" (Political Movement Denk).[20]
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] Indeed, Denk's current party leader and lijsttrekker in the House of Representatives, Stephan van Baarle, is an agnostic.[22]
