Youth leader, politicians visit Utoya 10 years on

Описание: (21 Jul 2021) One day before Norway will mark the 10th anniversary of the terror attacks in Oslo and Utoya, Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven paid a visit to Utoya to pay respect to the victims and meet with survivors.
On 22 July 2011, Anders Behring Breivik killed 77 people, mostly teen members of the Labour Party Youth wing, who were enjoying their annual camping trip on the tranquil island of Utoya, in a lake northwest of Oslo.
He had earlier murdered eight people in a bomb attack at government buildings in the capital.
Lofven toured Utoya together with Astrid Hoem, the AUF's (Workers' Youth League) leader and a survivor of the shooting, and Jonas Gahr Store, the leader of the Norwegian Labour Party.
They each laid flowers at the island's memorial, while Hoem also showed Lofven the learning center built in the aftermath of the tragedy.
Speaking at a news conference after the tour, Lofven spoke of his sadness for the livest lost, but praised the "strength" built by the AUF on the island.
