Ville Nurmela, a candidate for the openly racist and fascist Sinimusta Liike convicted for ethnic agitation and vandalizing the Turku synagogue in 2020, is running for parliament, according to Helsingin Sanomat, Finland’s largest daily.
A former member of Finland’s neo-Nazi group, Nurmela has convictions for using and possessing explosives, assault rifle cartridge cases, and drugs.
I have years of experience in street-level activism, and the [fascist] Sinimusta Liike is my first step into party politics. I am the secretary of the party’s Southwest Finland chapter and running for parliament in the next election.
I favor policies that support large Finnish families with children, our [markka] currency, domestic entrepreneurship, and complete political independence [from the EU]. I was ready to defend Europe’s freedom in a war against Russia. I am prepared to do the same today for Finland, but by parliamentary means.” See [right] Migrant Tales.
In an interview with STT in December, Sinimusta Liike chairperson Tuukka Kuru admitted that the party could be considered openly racist and fascist.
According to investigative journalism by Helsingin Sanomat, other Sinimusta Liike candidates for parliament were convicted of various crimes.
