Dutch intelligence warns of far-right normalisation of extremist ideas

Wednesday, 23 September 2026, 06:58 · 1 min read

The Netherlands' domestic intelligence service AIVD and the national counterterrorism coordinator NCTV have published a joint analysis warning that far-right extremists are systematically normalising radical ideas through politics, media, and public demonstrations. The report highlights how terms such as "remigration" and "great replacement" — which carry extreme connotations including forced expulsions and white supremacist conspiracy theories — are being softened and introduced into mainstream discourse, including by politicians from parties such as PVV and FVD (Forum for Democracy). The agencies warn that as extremist language becomes more accepted, it may embolden violence-prone individuals and erode democratic norms through self-censorship among officials, journalists, and academics.
