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.
وأضافت الصحيفة أن التنظيم يروج لفكرة إنشاء “دولة عرقية بيضاء”، وهي دولة تقوم على مفهوم التفوق العرقي.
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.
ونقلت الصحيفة عن ناتزارو، الذي استخدم الاسم المستعار “رومان وولف” Roman Wolf، قوله إن الهدف يتمثل في “خلق حالة دائمة من الأزمات وتقويض شرعية الحكومة ودفع المجتمع نحو الانقسام”.
Researchers warn of the dangers of the organization
قال الباحث السويدي في شؤون الإرهاب ماغنوس رانستورب Magnus Ranstorp من جامعة Försvarshögskolan إن تنظيم ذا بيس The Base يتبنى فكراً “تسريعياً”، يقوم على محاولة تسريع انهيار المجتمع عبر تنفيذ أعمال إرهابية ونشر الفوضى والعنف.
He added that the organization seeks to overthrow governments by force and seize power.
ومن جانبها، وصفت الباحثة في التطرف اليميني بجامعة آرهوس Aarhus Universitet تينا ويلشن كريستنسن Tina Wilchen Christensen المواد التي اطلعت عليها بأنها “الأكثر إثارة للقلق” التي شاهدتها في هذا المجال.
وأوضحت أن التنظيم يبدو “منظماً بشكل جيد”، مشيرة إلى أن مؤسسه يمتلك خلفية عسكرية واستخباراتية أمريكية، وأن التنظيم يوفر تدريبات شبه عسكرية لأعضائه.
كما قالت الباحثة ريكه بيترس Rikke Peters من مركز هيستوريلاب HistorieLab التابع لجامعة UCL إن التنظيم يختلف عن جماعات اليمين المتطرف التقليدية لأنه “ينتقل من نشر الأفكار إلى التحضير لأعمال فعلية”، مضيفة أن التنظيم يعمل على بناء خلايا سرية تشبه “جيشاً سرياً تحت الأرض”.
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.
لكنه أوضح في بيان مكتوب أن مركز تحليل التهديدات الإرهابية CTA يقيّم مستوى التهديد الصادر عن المتطرفين اليمينيين ضد الدنمارك بأنه “عام”.
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.
