Let’s go back a day and recall one of the most incredible excuses to shut down the #RighToLive demonstration in downtown Helsinki. Deputy police chief Heikki Kopperaoinen told YLE News Friday that the demonstration could no longer be held in the Helsinki Railway Square after 140 days because of security issues.
UPDATED at 10:08 pm:
In plain English, “security issues” mean provocations and threats by far-right groups like Finland First.
Instead of giving space to far right groups, racism, and bigotry, we should stand up to such social ills.
Racism, like any other type of violence, must be challenged. Caving into its provocations and violence is not the way fight it. We must send a clear message that we won’t be provoked by such hostility.
