  • The Finns party and the killing of a 12th century bishop : the heritage of a political myth
    Anttonen, Pertti J.
    The parliamentary elections in Finland in the spring of 2011 shocked the political consensus over the countryʼs participation in the European integration. The populist party called Perussuomalaiset ... (the Finns Party) won a landslide victory and became the third largest party in the Parliament. This meant that the popular opposition and criticism among the electorate against the European Union has become a political factor that had to be taken seriously by the other parties. The popularity of the Finns Party represents a general trend in todayʼs Europe, but it also draws in significant ways on particular interpretations of Finnish history, nationalism, and identity politics, carrying along sentiments that first emerged and developed in 19th century Fennoman nationalism. For this reason, the Finns Partyʼs opposition to the European integration is not merely an issue of current economic politics but also a question of cultural and political heritage. The paper discusses the role that one of the key nationalist myths in Finland, concerning the killing of a legendary Christian missionary bishop in the 12th century, plays in the argumentation of the party supportersʼ values.
