Since 2014, on the Finnish Independence Day on 6th of December, a loose coalition of Finnish fascists have organised a “612” torch march in Helsinki, gathering at best over a thousand participants. Appealing to mainstream Finnish nationalism, the demonstration claims to be merely “patriotic” and not political, but through both its key organisers and participants, it can be linked directly to the fascist movement, including the Nordic Resistance Movement. The demonstration has revived a tradition of far-right demonstrations that has not existed in Finland in this scale since the Second World War. Protests against it have also gathered thousands. 13.00
