Denmark pushes to the Pole

Can the radical manifesto of the killer of Oslo and Utøya really be staged? A theatre project in Copenhagen has raised strong protests in Norway and Denmark. But hearing the words of Breivik’s Manifesto 2083 is vital for understanding our times, responds its director, Christian Lollike. 
The crisis has accelerated the emergence of a new social class in Europe. Dubbed "the precariat" by sociologists, it is made up of young people with no prospect of a decent job or a reasonable standard of living. 
The attacks in Oslo and on Utøya came as a shock to the Norwegians. For the EU, they are a call to finally take up a real policy of diversity, writes a columnist in Romania. 
Beyond the political delusions that pushed Anders Breivik to assassinate more than 70 people, it is evil in it most imbecile form that was revealed by his actions, says Italian writer Claudio Magris.
The murderous attacks by Anders Behring Breivik on July 22 have shocked a nation that prided itself on its collectivist model based on tolerance and egalitarianism. A New York Times report. 
Although Anders Breivik was solely responsible for the atrocities in Norway, his far-fetched ideas clearly owe much to a culture of populism. A Dutch historian argues that the events which took place on 22 July ought to be considered in the context of political trends in Europe.
In the wake of the Oslo bomb attack and massacre on Utøya island, attention is focused on far-right extremist groups proliferating on the web. But their members have little in common with traditional neo-nazis and extremist conservative movements. 
There is nothing in the mind of Norway’s mass killer that needs studying. Instead of rationalising his deeds, we'd do better to ignore his narcissism and puerile ideology, writes columnist and London's mayor Boris Johnson. 
Right up to the slaughter of 22 July, Norway was considered immunised against extremism. Lacking real political connections, a radical movement has nonetheless organised. And its extent remains unknown. 
At least 93 dead and 97 wounded: the dual attack perpetrated on 22 July by right-wing fundamentalist Anders Behring Breivik has shocked the people of Norway. In an editorial published in the wake of the carnage, the daily Dagbladet calls on the citizens of the country not to give in to fear or the temptation to impose a police state. 
From the eastern Baltic to the western straits, Scandinavians are building everything underground: roads, tunnels, and even huge shopping malls. Polish weekly Polityka reports. 
Italy has requested financial assistance from the EU to cope with the wave of migrants from north Africa. Instead of increasing the budget of Frontex, the border security agency, the EU should rather reform its asylum policy to foster economic integration of immigrants. 
In one corner – Germany, in search of skilled workers to feed its recovery. In the other, a Spain in crisis, where young graduates have no future. As in the sixties, a new flow of economic migrants might be making their way north. 
As the world gets bigger, and the rush for the resources beneath the Artic sea intensifies, the countries of Europe’s far North are seeking common cause. 
The Sweden Democrats’ breakthrough at the polls on 19 September is no anomaly: throughout northern European, in societies hitherto admired for their tolerance and cohesion, overtly xenophobic parties are now riding a wave of anti-immigrant sentiment. 
Currently under discussion in Agadir, the ban on whaling continues to divide the international community. Die Welt argues that the ironclad protection demanded for the cetaceans by most European countries is evidence of a quasi-religious conception of ecology. 
Rainy Bergen has seen the likes of Röyksopp, Sondre Lerche and Kings of Convenience promote interest in the Norwegian music scene. In the shadow of Oslo, the port city cultivates its independence. 
Every year European royal families receive more and more public money, while the nature of their personal fortunes often remains a well-guarded secret. In the wake of controversy sparked by recent revelations about undisclosed assets belonging to the King of Belgium, Rzeczpospolita reports that the question of regal coffers and what they should contain is once again in the news.
Eight years after the Norwegian government passed a law requring that 40% of all company board members be women, Nicola Clark of the International Herald Tribune looks at the drive for corporate gender equality in other European countries, where governements are considering similar laws. 
Furious with a £14 billion contribution to the bureaucrats of far-off Brussels, lagging behind Norway in GDP, some Englanders have had enough with the European project. Dreaming of the day when Britain becomes an offshore paradise for global investors, Tory MEP Daniel Hannan gives 10 reasons to leave the EU. 
Timed to coincide with the main session of the Nordic Council, Swedish historian Gunnar Wetterberg's proposal to unite the five states of northern Europe under one symbolic monarch, was launched by Stockholm daily Dagens Nyheter on October 27. Although it has failed to achieve unanimous support, it has caused a stir in the national press. 
The international job fair for health professionals, which opens today in Bucharest, is an opportunity for countries in need of doctors, such as the United Kingdom, France, Austria, the Netherlands and Sweden, to fill health service vacancies — and they have the means to offer wages and working conditions that are far beyond the scope of Romania"s health budget.
