Erik Blücher

Who is Erik Blücher?

Erik Blücher or Tor Erik Nilsen is a Norwegian former neo-nazi activist.

In 1975 Erik Blücher founded the national political party Norsk Front on the foundation of the tiny organization Nasjonal Ungdomsfylking, where he himself became the leader. The party changed its name in 1980 to Nasjonalt Folkeparti. I 1983 Blücher moved to Helsingborg in Sweden and changed his name to Erik Nilsen. In a 2006 interview with Norwegian newspaper Stavanger Aftenblad, the first interview he made since retiring from the public spotlight in the 1980s, he calls to account neo-nazism which he calls a "disastrous cul-de-sac" and a "scourge which has wreaked destruction for both friends and enemies." There he also claims he was never a nazi, only a nationalist, however this is refuted by organizations which keep a tab on neo-nazi activity across Europe.
