Blue-and-Black Movement
The Blue-and-Black Movement (Finnish: Sinimusta Liike, abbr. SML) is a neo-fascist 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. By April 2022, the party had received the 5,000 signatures needed to register as a political party.
The Supreme Administrative Court of Finland (KHO) previously de-registered the Blue-and-Black Movement as a party on 23 April 2024, after the court found that the party program to be anti-democratic and disrespecting of human rights, and thus 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.
On 14 May 2024, the Blue-and-Black Movement re-applied for the party register, and recollected the necessary 5,000 signatures before May 2025, by which time they needed to gather the signatures.
The Blue-and-Black Movement can be described as a neo-fascist party, the party defines itself also as radical and traditionalist. According to the Helsingin Sanomat election compass, the party is left-wing and national conservative, which according to chairman Tuukka Kuru is accurate.
According to historian Oula Silvennoinen, who is also known for his work on Finnish co-operation with the Nazis during World War Two, the party is ideologically neo-fascist.
The Blue-and-Black Movement in relation to foreign policy, stands for what it describes as "the principle of state independence" and anti-globalism, the party wishes for Finland to exit the European Union and for Finland to strive for neutrality in foreign conflicts that are not vital to Finland's national interests. The Blue-and-Black Movement also wishes for Finland to exit the United Nations, and for Finland to leave multinational military alliances, such as NATO.
The Blue-and-Black Movement staunchly positions itself as being opposed to Russia and its foreign policy objectives. They seek for more cooperation with the Baltic countries, Sweden and Poland, instead of commitments to the United States in relation to foreign policy. The Blue-and-Black Movement especially wishes to promote closer ties with Estonia, due to shared Baltic Finnic heritage between Finland and Estonia, this can be seen as Pan-Finnicism to an extent. The party is in favour of cooperation with Ukraine, in its opposition to the Russian Federation.
