Norway’s domestic security service (PST) reports a growing trend of far-right individuals expressing admiration for Anders Breivik, the perpetrator of the 2011 attacks. This increase in support—described as an elevation of Breivik’s “hero status”—has been observed over the past seven years. PST is particularly concerned that this trend could lead to the radicalization of more young Norwegians. The agency is monitoring the situation closely, noting the potential for increased extremist activity. The renewed interest in Breivik’s ideology is attributed to online echo chambers and the spread of right-wing propaganda. Authorities emphasize the need to counter extremist narratives and prevent further radicalization within the country. This development highlights the persistent threat of far-right extremism in Norway and the challenges in combating its influence.
