Beskrivelse

The pandemic has not silenced right-wing extremists. Experts warn, for instance, that the current demonstrations against Anti-Corona-measures in Germany could be used to increase support for right-wing extremist ideas. 2019 saw an increase in the number of executed and averted right-wing extremist motivated terrorism – for example with the attacks in Hanau and Halle as well as attempted in Oslo and Denmark. The attacks are interrelated. The perpetrators of the Halle and Hanau attacks for instance claimed to be inspired by among others Anders Behring Breivik. Right-wing extremists are increasingly working in networks, exchanging views and ideas and spreading information across borders.
Join us for the first exchange in a series of online exchanges with the aim to strengthen ties between anti-right-wing civil society actors in the Nordics and Germany and in the long-term establish a Nordic-German expert network. The next step is to create awareness for action that can support and strengthen your important organizations work. Each event will follow one specific topic and the content will be summarized in a written briefing with political recommendations.
