Max Jarl Hermansen (born 30 May 1960) is a Norwegian anti-Muslim activist, former schoolteacher and military officer. He has written books about military history, and became known in 2015 as the founder and leader of Pegida Norway.[1]

Background

Hermansen grew up as a military brat in Northern Norway.[2] He later became a naval military officer in the Royal Norwegian Navy himself, retiring at the rank of orlogskaptein, equivalent to lieutenant commander, in the Norwegian High Command,[3][4] and also received hovedfag, equivalent to master's degree, in history.[5]

He was the publisher of the naval military publishing company Sjømilitære Samfund from 2008, until he was forced to resign in 2013 due to his vocal opposition to the Norwegian monarchy,[1] which included calling King Harald V a "doofus"[6] for awarding the King's Medal of Merit to controversial Muslim convert Trond Ali Linstad [no]—the award was eventually withdrawn.[7] He was also a teacher at Sogn Upper Secondary School, and was then described as "Norway's most active republican",[8] while being active in the organisation 'Norway as Republic!'[1] In 2014 he became teacher in social studies at Kuben Upper Secondary School and Etterstad Upper Secondary School, but was replaced after a short time following complaints from students due to his views on Islam.[5]

Political activism

In January 2015, Hermansen gained much media attention for leading a march of 200 people in Oslo against Muslim immigration, inspired by the German Pegida movement.[9][10][11][12] Later the same month, it was announced that he was no longer wanted at his part-time job as teacher at the Oslo Training Office for Service and Transport, due to his "statements and views on Islam".[13] He resigned his position as teacher in early 2016 after a deal with the Oslo education agency, with a final agreement of 1.2 million kr while being banned from applying to teacher positions for five years.[14] Hermansen also ran a used bookstore in Grünerløkka, which he closed in February 2015 after it was vandalised with graffiti.[15]

Hermansen was formerly active in the minor Democrats political party, and was its top candidate for the parliamentary election in Oslo in 2017,[16] after previously announcing that he wanted to become leader of the party.[17] He was however expelled from the party in 2019, after new statutes disallowed members who were also active in far-right activist organisations.[18] After Pegida failed to take lasting hold in Norway, with rapidly decreasing numbers of participants[19][20] despite numerous demonstrations,[1] he has later been active in Stop Islamisation of Norway.[21]
