JuniBevægelsen (own notation: JuniBevægelsen to German June Movement ) was an EU-critical constituency association in Denmark exclusively on elections to the European Parliament took. She saw herself as non-partisan. The party letter J was assigned to her on the ballot paper .

The Junibevægelse was founded in August 1992 at Christiansborg Palace (the seat of the Danish Parliament ) in the vicinity of Danish opponents of Europe. Around the turn of the year 1992/93, three of the four members of the Folkebevægelsen mod EU sitting in the European Parliament joined the Junibevægelse ( Jens-Peter Bonde , Birgit Bjørnvig and Ulla Sandbæk). In 1993, 1998 and 2000 referendums on EU issues ( Maastricht Treaty , Amsterdam Treaty , introduction of the euro ), the Junibevægelse recommended voting no. She also rejected the Lisbon Treaty as undemocratic and too centralistic.

In 1994 , the Junibevægelse stood for the first time in a European election and won two seats. Together with the popular movement against the EU, she joined the Europe of Nations Group . In the European elections in 1999 she was able to easily win and won three seats. She joined the Europe of Democracies and Differences Group . In 2004, however, she suffered a strong loss of votes and only got one mandate. She participated in the independence / democracy group . Jens-Peter Bonde held a mandate until 2008, in which case he partly acted as group chairman. Hanne Dahl took over his mandate .

In the 2009 European elections , the Junibevægelse lost almost three quarters of its votes and lost its seat in the European Parliament. Thereupon the chairman Keld Albrechtsen and the outgoing European parliamentarian Hanne Dahl announced the dissolution of the party. On September 5, 2009 the party was dissolved.

The party worked across Europe in the European party EU Democrats . With the Junilistan there was a sister party in Sweden between 2004 and 2014 . Another sister party was the Junijska lista in Slovenia, which never ran for elections. Both were also members of the EU Democrats.
