Pyhäjoki, Finland: Drive-by barricade – End of dialogue
Fennovoima-Rosatom tries to build a new nuclear power plant to Pyhäjoki, Finland. Nuclear energy is by every standards outdated technology, financially unprofitable, increases the centralization of energy production and produces hazardous nuclear waste for generations to come.
On top of it all, Fennovoima-Rosatom is destroying unique nature as we speak and messing up the Bay of Bothnia. The chosen location is a crappy one for a nuclear power plant by any means. Close to sea, close to groundwater. For example, the builders need to lift the ground level with meters to even get to start the constructions.

Entire traffic to the Fennovoima-Rosatom nuke plant construction site blocked
On 6th of April, anti-nuclear activists blocked the entire traffic to the Fennovoima-Rosatom’s nuclear power plant construction site at Pyhäjoki, Finland. In total the blockade lasted roughly two to two-and-a-half hours.
For now, there is only one road leading to the construction site that can take the heavy machinery. This road connects to a smaller one, leading to quarries used for massive landfills now being carried out at the site. Such a detail makes the construction site quite vulnerable for different methods of direct action.

Finland: Luxury cars sabotaged in eastern Helsinki
In the night between the 9th and 10th March 2016, we sabotaged about 10 luxury cars rendering them unusable.
Driving private cars, especially big ones in the city, is useless and ecologically unsustainable.
We will carry on action to disturb destruction and exploitation of nature and animals.

Sat 23th of April Disturbances-lecture: Anarchy in the 80s & Early 90s
Doors open at 4 pm, Lecture begins at 4:15 pm
How were squatting, zines, demonstrations and other civil action executed in the Finland of 1980s and early 1990s and what was accomplished with them? Kaide, a civil activist who was involved at the time, tells about the beginnings of a period of large societal change. Horke Lavento tells what it was like to discover anarchism in Southeast Finland in the 80s and how anarchism started to be perceived as something else in the Finnish 80s than odd behavior or terrorism. How was the Finnish Anarcho-syndicalist Federation founded and how were the first connections established to anarchists abroad?

Dissident Island Radio took a moment to talk with us
Like most of the protest sites and projects alike, also the anti-nuclear protest camp at Pyhäjoki is used on getting its share of varying contacts. The camp email takes on the usual approaches of interested civilians, folks donating useful stuff or just people expressing their solidarity or support for the cause. From photos about solidarity actions in different corners of the continent to locals offering rain jackets – yes, we get that too.

Pyhäjoki, Finnland: Reclaim The Cape – Anti-nuclear action week April 22th to May 1st 2016
Click links for printable 4-page pamphlet and poster in pdf format
So. There’s an anti-nuclear protest site at the west coast of Finland. And it’s holding an action week between 22th of April – 1st of May, 2016, while celebrating its first anniversary of existence. What’s all this about? To put it all in a simple nutshell:
Fennovoima is a Finnish nuclear power company established in 2007 by a consortium of Finnish power and industrial companies thinking it’s a mighty good idea to put up a nuke plant at Pyhäjoki, a small municipality at the west coast of Finland – by any means necessary. Fennovoima’s project nearly faced its much wished-for doom when German energy giant E.ON, the main investor of the project at that time, decided nuclear power is bad business and withdrew its money in 2012.

Pyhäjoki, Finland: Traffic at and to the Fennovoima-Rosatom’s nuke plant construction site blocked – again
In mid-January Fennovoima-Rosatom announced that their geopolitically and environmentally funky plan to build this Putin’s own little western nuclear power plant is running and sticking with set timetables ”just as planned”. Well. How to put this nicely and in a constructive manner? (And on second thought: why should we even bother to try?)
