15 years after Utøya: Norwegian author warns Breivik's ideas are gaining ground

On the 15th anniversary of Anders Breivik's attacks on Utøya island, Norwegian author Åsne Seierstad said Norwegians were "a little naive" at the time and that the massacre was a profound shock to society. She warned that the far-right ideology Breivik espoused is now gaining wider popularity and urged governments to monitor the trend closely. "It starts with words, but it can lead to violence," she said.
