Independence Day Marches in Finland - Simon Lindberg’s speech

LAST MONTH, Finland’s Independence Day was commemorated with two demonstrations in Helsinki.

The first demonstration was arranged by the Soldiers of Odin. The demonstration was originally set to be organised by the National Socialist organisation Kohti Vaupatta! (Towards Freedom!), but the police commission denied them permission, claiming the demonstration would “break the law”.

When the first demonstration was over, the 300-plus attendees went on to participate in the patriotic “6/12” demonstration. According to the organiser, 2,500-3,000 patriots took part in the demonstration, marching with torches in hand to commemorate Finland’s independence.
