Members of the white supremacist Action Zealandia group, which claims to disavow violence, interviewed a member of the violent Nordic Resistance Movement, Marc Daalder reports on Newsroom…

The white supremacist organisation Action Zealandia is publicising its relationship with the Nordic Resistance Movement* (NRM), a far-right Scandinavian group linked to several bombings.

Two members of the New Zealand-based group interviewed NRM member Andreas Johansson on their podcast about Jews and the Nordic group’s response to backlash against it.

According to the Counter Extremism Project, “NRM leaders and members have carried out numerous attacks against gay people, Muslim asylum seekers, and the group’s ideological adversaries”. A quarter of the group’s members have been convicted of a violent crime.

These events include successful bombings of a refugee centre and a left-wing cafe in Sweden and a plan to assassinate journalists. Although it operates an unsuccessful political party in Sweden and runs branches in several other Nordic countries, the NRM is banned outright in Finland.
