The fanatically antisemitic Nordic Resistance Movement (NRM) is the Nordic region’s leading and most dangerous right-wing extremist group. Over the quarter-century of its existence, the NRM has built up a transnational, hierarchic organization with paramilitary and cult-like elements and a strong emphasis on violence.
The NRM has a long and bloody history of armed attacks on private citizens, minority groups and democratic institutions. It poses an ongoing and serious public security threat. With its array of media outlets and broadcasts, the NRM wields an outsized influence on the global white supremacist movement, maintaining alliances across Europe and inspiring groups in the United States.
While banned in Finland in 2018, the organization operates freely in its home country of Sweden and across the Nordic region.
The NRM’s membership is in a current state of decline, but the organization remains active, dangerous and a threat to Jews, people of color and political opponents. Nordic governments must act to contain this threat. | |
