On the front page of the press, this Thursday, July 22, the commemorations in Norway of the attack on Oslo and Utoya, which left 77 dead ten years ago.
"Never forget", headlines the Norwegian newspaper
Aftenposten
this morning
, with a red rose under the names of the victims - a rose for the 77 people murdered by neo-Nazi Anders Behring Breivik.
Ten years later, "something must always be repaired", writes the daily, which estimates the sentence of Breivik to 21 years of prison did not allow, however, to make the trial of the extremist ideology behind his act.

Vi skal aldri glemme: In 17-åring som var glad i å dance.

The Norwegian daily
Dagsavisen
accuses the Norwegian company of having "let down" the survivors of the attacks of July 22, 2011 and speaks of a mourning which still seems impossible, 10 years later. “Today, it has been exactly ten years since our country was struck by an evil that we could hardly understand.

evokes "Cursed Games", "organized almost on the sly", "without contact" and very probably "without taste". Games, maintained against all odds, "lacking in meaning".
