New election for the Sami Parliament, a blow to the self-determination of this people in Finland

After giving in to the pressure of around a hundred appeals, the Finnish Supreme Court invalidated the 2023 elections organized by the Electoral Commission of the Sami Parliament. Seventy-two people will be forcibly added to the electorate for the upcoming elections in June. According to international organizations that fight for respect for the rights of indigenous populations, this is a means of influencing the vote in favor of non-Sami people.
