Russia must stop sending asylum seekers across its frontier into Finland in what amounts to a "hybrid attack", Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo said on Friday, after the Nordic nation temporarily shut all border passenger crossings bar one.
Yeah the number if immigrants is very little even by our standards, but our right wing government is doing all it can to stoke fears of a Russian hybrid operation, just so that they get an excuse to shut down the border. Ironically, that’s exactly what Russia wants them to do because such disregard for human rights naturally inflames internal political tensions here.
There would be significantly less drama if we just took them in with due processing, but now that the racist nationalists party is in government with a spineless sack of shit as the PM, they’re not going to do that.
You should always do a per Capita calculation with change in percent per month to see why 800 may be alarming.
Not to dismiss the Italian situation, I just don’t think that Finland needs to regard other nations problems with illegal immigrants before they decide what to do with their external border
According to some (right wing) outlets, Russia would be shoving immigrants into busses, shipping them towards the border, then giving them bicycles to go the rest of the way.
Apparently people consuming such sources, don’t realize that bus service is a normal thing in some countries, bicycles are more affordable than cars, many busses will carry them for you, and regular bus lines have more than enough capacity for over 200 people to travel every week.
More Than 800 immigrants…poor finnish… Well, they start to get a taste of what feels like to host more Than 10000 a month in Italy…

Those are rookie numbers.
Y’all should get more so you can get a taste of what it feels like to host more than 25k, here in Turkey.
