Controversies.
In February 2017, it was reported that some members of the youth department of DENK had created fake social media profiles in order to influence public opinion. Tunahan Kuzu acknowledged that there had been some internet trolls and that they would be held to account for their behaviour. Furthermore, Kuzu said that "Farid Azarkan may have given some sort of permission, but that is not entirely clear."
Azarkan has been criticised for designing a banner in the style of the PVV with the image of the far-right populist politician Geert Wilders and the logo of the PVV with the slogan "After March 15, we will purify the Netherlands". According to DENK, the idea behind the campaign would have been to "show how far the PVV can go." Nonetheless, the party management, Selçuk Öztürk and Tunahan Kuzu, decided not to place the advertisement.
