Radical far right political violence is rapidly growing in Finland

Wednesday, 02 January 2013
Radical and violent extreme rightwing politics is growing in Finland and the cooperation between the Finnish and Swedish extreme rightwing organisations are getting more cordial.

This comes from a report from Hanasaari Cultural Centre in Finland and the Swedish Expo magazine that writes more about the right wing activities in Sweden.
Freelance writer, Michael Brunila is one of the authors of the report, and he sees a growing problem, reports radio Sweden.

He told radio Sweden that racially motivated violence has increased in Finland since 2011 relative to previous years. That it is also the first time people who actually working with this at organized level think it is becoming the biggest threat to civil society.

Political violence has increased in Finland and has also become more organized. Among other things, there have been attacks on Pride Parade, immigrants and politicians.
At the forefront is the extremists organisation, the Finnish Resistance Movement, which today has activist groups in all major Finnish cities and many smaller towns.
They are not many - usually between 50 and 100 people, mostly young men. But the risk of violence from their operations are likely to increase and become more serious, according to Mikael Brunila, who has mapped the extreme right wings in Finland.

The report from Hanasaari Cultural Centre of Finland and the Swedish magazine, Expo shows that there are several significant differences between Sweden and Finland when it comes to the ways extreme right wing work both in their political climates and history. It also shows that there are similarities, cooperation, and contacts across the border.

To meet the increasing political violence and intolerance, Hanasaari has organised one forum for youth from Finland, Sweden, and Norway in late January. Michael Brunila will be there, and he thinks it is important to take the political debate.

In Finland, Sweden and Malmö are used as a cautionary example when painting the horror pictures of uncontrolled immigration, according to a survey carried out in collaboration with the Expo magazine.
