INTERVIU Cum vede un scriitor norvegian, fost soldat, ascensiunea extremismului în UE și România: „Dacă vorbești cu oamenii din zonele rurale, vei descoperi o altă perspectivă despre țara lor”

Norwegian writer Aslak Nore discusses the rise of extremism in Europe, emphasizing the disparity between urban and rural areas in Romania. He believes that Romanians have a deeper understanding of how quickly societal changes can occur due to their historical experiences. Nore reflects on his military background in Bosnia and how it shaped his views on conflict and normalcy in war. He notes that many people simply want to live their lives amidst turmoil. Nore also highlights the tendency to romanticize the past, suggesting that while cities like Bucharest have thrived, rural areas have lagged behind, creating fertile ground for extremist sentiments.
