فنلندا: مراقبة الأحزاب اليمينية للحيلولة دون جرائم الإرهاب

أعلن "ميكو باتيرو" - مفوض الأمن القومي في "فنلندا" - أن أنشطة الأحزاب اليمينية ستخضع لرقابة متشددة بدايةً من الآونة الحالية، مؤكدًا أن شعبية الحركات اليمينية ظاهرة قد تكتسب دفعة تأييد في ظل الممارسات اليمينة المتطرفة في أماكن أخرى.

وأكد "باتيرو" أن أحداث "النرويج" الأخيرة تؤكد للفنلنديين أنه يجب ألّا يكونوا سُذّج رغمًا عن عدم وجود أخطار حقيقية حتى الآن، مشيرًا إلى أن قوات الأمن يجب ألّا تستغرب من وقوع أي أمر.

وتأتي هذه التصريحات تعليقًا على تفجيرات "النرويج" الأخيرة، وقبيل الذهاب للمشاركة في لقاء وكالة الشرطة الأوربية "Europol" لمناقشة دراسات حول الحركات اليمينة المتطرفة بمنطقة شمال أوروبا.

Extreme right being scrutinized

Activities by the extreme right will now be the object of special scrutiny in Finland. According to National Police Commissioner Mikko Paatero, the popularity of various extremist movements is a trendy phenomenon that may get a boost from events elsewhere.

Paatero pointed out that events in Norway show that the Finns should not be naive, even though there is no concrete threat here at the moment.

"The Security Intelligence Service keeps a constant watch on extreme right movements, but there is no indication of individuals who possibly pose a threat," the National Police Commissioner told YLE in a Sunday interview.

"Nowadays, the police can't consider anything surprising, but the extent of these events [in Norway] and the kind of damage inflicted cannot, of course, be wished for anywhere," he said when commenting on Friday's massacres.

Europol to look at Nordic extremists

Within the next few days, Finland will be receiving an invitation from the European police agency Europol to attend a survey of extremist movements in the Nordic region. Part of Europol's mandate is to call gatherings of experts after major illegal actions. As of Sunday, it was still not known when the experts will begin their evaluation and how long the work will last.

Paatero sees terrorism from the right as a greater threat in other Nordic countries than in Finland.

"As we now have seen, the threat of rightwing terrorism is a fact in the Nordic countries. However, there are no indications that this threat is targeted on Finland. The situation in Denmark, Norway and Sweden is clearly different than in Finland," said Mikko Paatero.
