Reports reveal the activity of a far-right Nazi organization in Denmark that believes in white supremacy and incites terrorist plots.

According to BT, the newspaper revealed indications that The Base, classified as a far-right Nazi terrorist organization, has established a presence in Denmark, amid warnings from extremism and terrorism experts about the nature of its activities and violent objectives.

The newspaper added that the organization promotes the idea of creating a “white ethnic state,” a state based on the concept of racial supremacy.

Disturbing materials and images

The newspaper BT reported that it had seen material posted on accounts and platforms linked to the organization on the Russian network VK, as well as closed conversations on the Telegram application, in which it said Danish users were active.

The newspaper added that some of the circulated images showed people raising slogans linked to the organization and performing the Nazi salute, while other images included military equipment, drones, and banners bearing the organization's logo, in what it described as possible training exercises for elements linked to the organization inside Denmark.

The newspaper explained that it was unable to independently verify the identity of the people appearing in the photos or that all the material was filmed inside Denmark, but it noted that there were several pieces of evidence that supported this possibility.

Experts believe there are members or sympathizers in Denmark.

The newspaper BT said that three experts in terrorism and right-wing extremism reviewed the material obtained by the newspaper and concluded that the content indicates the presence of sympathizers or actual members of The Base organization within Denmark.

However, experts stressed that they cannot accurately determine the size or nature of the organization based solely on available materials.

The organization calls for violence and targeting infrastructure.

BT newspaper noted that the organization's founder, Rinaldo Nazzaro, posted calls via the Russian platform VK for the organization's supporters to form small cells and carry out attacks against vital infrastructure.

The newspaper quoted Nazzaro, who used the pseudonym “Roman Wolf,” as saying that the goal was to “create a permanent state of crisis, undermine the legitimacy of the government, and push society toward division.”.

Researchers warn of the dangers of the organization

Swedish terrorism researcher Magnus Ranstorp from Försvarshögskolan University said that The Base organization adopts an “accelerating” ideology, based on trying to accelerate the collapse of society by carrying out terrorist acts and spreading chaos and violence.

He added that the organization seeks to overthrow governments by force and seize power.

Tina Wilchen Christensen, a researcher on right-wing extremism at Aarhus University, described the material she reviewed as “the most disturbing” she had seen in the field.

She explained that the organization appears to be “well-organized,” noting that its founder has an American military and intelligence background, and that the organization provides paramilitary training to its members.

Researcher Rikke Peters from UCL’s HistorieLab said the organization differs from traditional far-right groups because it “moves from spreading ideas to preparing for actual actions,” adding that the organization is working to build secret cells resembling “an underground secret army.”.

International presence and security investigations

The newspaper BT reported that The Base was founded in the United States in 2018, before spreading to several European countries, while the European Union classified it as a terrorist organization.

She added that members of the organization had previously been convicted of planning terrorist attacks in the United States and Europe, including a Swedish member who was sentenced to eight years in prison after planning terrorist attacks when he was 17 years old, including a plan to target the Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam in 2020.

The newspaper also noted that Spanish authorities dismantled a cell linked to the organization last December, and confiscated weapons and Nazi propaganda materials.

Danish intelligence service comment

When the newspaper contacted the Danish authorities, the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) told BT that it does not comment on specific groups.

But he clarified in a written statement that the Center for Terrorist Threat Analysis (CTA) assesses the threat level from right-wing extremists against Denmark as “general”.

The agency added that assessments indicate the presence of individuals or small groups linked to far-right environments who have the capability or intent to carry out terrorist attacks within Denmark.
