Police successfully kept opposing Independence Day demonstrations apart in Helsinki, as the 612 torch march and Helsinki Without Nazis protest drew thousands. Minor disruptions occurred, including arrests and smoke devices, but no large-scale clashes.

~~Nationalist~~ Fascist and anti-fascist marches

Fixed it for them

The 612 march, officially registered and authorised in advance, progressed ~~under heavy police escort~~ with heavy police participation.

Fixed that too.

How is it nationalist to support a group that wants to turn Finland, a country where most people belong to a Finno-Ugric culture, and Sweden, a country where most people belong to a Germanic culture, into one national socialist country?!

It should be perfectly clear to everyone what will happen to Finns if the Finnish national socialists ever manage to pull off this one. What is nationalist about marching in Finland in support of an extermination of Finns?

As a human I am disgusted by fascists marching in my home city in the independence day, but I am also disgusted as a Finn by people marching against the existence of Finland, waving Finnish flags. During Finland's independence day of all days!

To get closer to fascists in actual power?

I don't understand what point you're trying to make

Dictators seek only one thing.
