Citizen initiative demands dissolution of Elokapina in Finland

A citizen initiative demanding the dissolution of the environmental movement Elokapina and its affiliated organization Elonvaalijat ry has garnered 50,000 signatures. The initiative calls for Elokapina to be classified as an organized criminal group and for the funding of criminal activities to be criminalized.

In Finland, eligible citizens can propose new laws, amendments to existing laws, or the repeal of current legislation through the website kansalaisaloite.fi. Any potential decisions regarding the dissolution of these organizations will be made by the courts in Finland. Funding of criminal activities is prohibited by law.

The citizen initiative will progress to the Finnish Parliament for consideration if it collects at least 50,000 supporting statements within six months of its announcement.
