Thousands of messages

In recent weeks, NMR has shared thousands of messages with each other in internal chat groups. They write anti-Semitic messages there, and share violent fantasies about leading Swedish politicians.

– Spontaneously, I feel like I could imagine killing JØDE's butler, Gunnar Stromer, and serving a life sentence. I don't know if it would be worth doing something like that, but I would like to applaud whoever did it. My feelings tell me that it is the right thing to do, as a long-time member of NMR wrote afterwards Aftonbladet.

He has previously served prison sentences for several cases related to incitement against other ethnic groups, and harassing social debater Hailey Klein, among other things.

– Do not comment on my security

Aftonbladet asked Justice Minister Strömer how he assessed the messages:

– I never comment on my personal security. On the other hand, our authorities work very systematically against all forms of violent extremism. The Minister of Justice responds to right-wing extremism, independent left-wing extremism and violent Islamism.

terrorist group

The US State Department considers NMR a terrorist organization. This came in June of this year.

The assessment is based on NMR's history of violence, which is based on a “racist, anti-immigrant, anti-Semitic, and anti-LGBTQ platform.”

The group, founded in 1997 in Sweden, later acquired branches in Norway, Denmark and Finland.

low

In recent years, the group has seen a significant decline in its membership. However, extremist researchers believe that this could make the group more explosive:

“I think this is a temporary surge of energy,” Christer Mattsson previously told Nettavisen. He researches right-wing extremism and heads the Sigersted Institute at the University of Gothenburg.

According to him, the decline in membership could make way for Nazi members with violent tendencies to gain more space in the organization.
