In 1993 Denmark held a 2nd referendum on greater EU integration after the 1st vote failed. But angry anti-EU demonstrators took to the streets of the capital and riots followed. We speak to the Former Foreign Minister who campaigned for a "Yes" vote, and a former activist who protested against any Danish involvement in the EU, but who has since changed his mind about Europe.
