What to know

- The intelligence report found GNSV deliberately presents itself as nationalist-conservative while privately advancing extremist ideology—a strategy designed to gain acceptance and campus access for recruitment.

Radboud University bars GNSV from recruitment fair
Following the intelligence report, Radboud University announces it will not permit GNSV to participate in the next student recruitment fair. A university spokesperson tells Omroep Gelderland that the AIVD designation provides clear grounds for the measure.
“Het rapport van de AIVD is helder en ernstig. Het is van belang dat de AIVD de GNSV heeft aangemerkt als een extreemrechtse organisatie. Dat schept duidelijkheid en biedt de universiteit gegronde mogelijkheden om maatregelen te nemen.”

AIVD and NCTV release report designating GNSV as far-right extremist
Dutch intelligence agency AIVD and counterterrorism coordinator NCTV release an analysis labeling GNSV as far-right extremist. The report states that members present the group as nationalist-conservative while privately holding white-supremacist views and supporting the forced removal of non-Western immigrants. The report describes the group's strategy of normalizing extremist ideology through a moderate facade to enable campus recruitment.
“Zo ziet men Vlamingen en Nederlanders als één volk, maar dan wel als één 'blank' volk. Ook uiten meerdere (kern)leden van GNSV diep racistische opvattingen over de Nederlandse identiteit.”
