Politics of Finland Political parties Elections

The Blue-and-Black Movement (Finnish: Sinimusta Liike, abbr. SML^[3]) is a neo-fascist de-registered political party in Finland.

The party was born out of row over ethnonationalism in the Finns Party, which led into the Finns Party Youth disintegrating and representatives being expelled from the party. The party's name and colors have been inspired by the far-right Lapua Movement and Patriotic People's Movement.^[4] By April 2022, the party had received the 5,000 signatures needed to register as a political party.^[5][6]

The Supreme Administrative Court of Finland (KHO) de-registered the Blue-and-Black Movement as a party on 23 April 2024. The court found that the party program is anti-democratic and disrespects human rights, and thus is contrary to the Finnish Constitution and the European Union’s charter on human rights. The party had modified its party program after registration, restoring objectionable content that had previously been removed.^[7]

On 14 May 2024, the Blue-and-Black Movement re-applied for the party register, and is preparing to collect the necessary 5,000 signatures.^[8]
