A rally was held in the Finnish city of Lappeenranta against the closure of the border with Russia. The publication writes about this “Fontanka”
“Our task is not to turn Finnish society and the government against ourselves, but to achieve the opportunity to cross the border in the south Finland to those people who have legal grounds for this,” the organizers of the action specified.
As specified, the closure of borders has deprived some residents of Finland of the right to see their families. The rally organizers also condemned the “use of refugees” as an instrument of international politics.
As journalists write, dozens of people came to the administration building of the Finnish city demanding that the restrictions be lifted.
Previously MP State Duma Mikhail Sheremet named Finland’s decision to close checkpoints on the border with Russia is Russophobic.
Finland closed four checkpoints on the border on November 18. Local authorities explained their decision by the influx of migrants from third countries, which Russia allegedly uses to destabilize the situation in the country.
