The Nordic Resistance Movement (Template:Lang-sv, Template:Lang-no, Template:Lang-fi, Template:Lang-da) is a Nordic Neo-Nazi movement and party.
Formation and structure
In the mid-1990s, a number of former members of the former White Aryan Resistance (Swedish: Vitt Ariskt Motstånd, also known as VAM,), having been released from prison, formed the Svenska motståndsrörelsen (SMR) or the Swedish Resistance Movement.
In 2016, a Nordic Resistance Movement was formed with separate departments in Sweden, Finland, and Norway. A Danish affiliate was disbanded. The Nordic Resistance Movement advocates an immediate stop to what they call mass immigration to the Scandinavian countries, and repatriation of people that are not of North European descent. It also advocates Nordic self-sufficiency and withdrawal from the European Union.
Sweden
In the mid-1990s, former members of White Aryan Resistance (VAM) were released from prison and formed the core of the Swedish branch of Nordic Resistance Movement, which was originally known as Svenska motståndsrörelsen (SMR, or "Swedish Resistance Movement"). The organisation was founded in December 1997 by Klas Lund, individuals working with the neo-Nazi magazine Folktribunen, members of National Youth, and the far-right organisation VAM.
SMR's present leader is Simon Lindberg, and the political wing in Sweden is managed by Pär Öberg. It is known for its opposition to non-white immigration to Sweden. Svenska motståndsrörelsen is considered a central actor in Sweden's white power movement. The aim of Nordic Resistance Movement is to establish a Nordic National Socialist government by revolution or elections. The organization says its fight will require bloodshed.
SMR has praised Adolf Hitler and Corneliu Codreanu in their publications. Their main tactics are distributing leaflets and making public speeches in inner-city areas about National Socialism and immigration. They also publish the Nationellt Motstånd magazine.
Their camps in the Swedish woods have led some people to believe that they are training for a civil war or a revolution.
In November 2003 the Swedish Security Service raided homes of leading members, among them Lund, who was later sentenced to prison for illegal possession of firearms.
Three men with ties to Swedish NRM were sentenced to prison for respectively eight and a half years, five years, and one and a half years on 7 July 2017 for three bombings in Göteborg which took place in November 2016 and January 2017. One person received life-threatening injuries at the bombing of a refugee centre in Västra Frölunda. The men have appealed the verdict.
On 30 September 2017, NRM staged a march with roughly 500 members taking part in Sweden's second largest city Göteborg, timed to coincide with the annual Göteborg Book Fair. Fighting broke out between NRM and counterdemonstrators. 22 NRM members including the organisation's leader Simon Lindberg were arrested on suspicion of violent public disorder, and one counter-demonstrator was arrested on suspicion of attacking a police officer. Swedish Jews were outraged at the demonstration, which took place on the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur and was originally planned to pass near a synagogue. The march was re-routed and shortened following a court ruling.
Finland
Suomen vastarintaliike (in English Finnish Resistance Movement) is a Finnish branch of the Nordic Resistance Movement. One of the main tactics has been the planting of propaganda stickers and posters. The members are also participating in combat training arranged by the organization. The organisation is also increasingly violent, among other actions attacking anti-racism and gay pride.
On 30 November 2017, Pirkanmaan District Court banned the Nordic Resistance Movement in Finland for "being an organization which threatens democratic rule of law".
