Comrades from Punalippu reports on top of the recent reactionary national election in Finland that there has been a general rise in masses boycotting the elections in the poorest neighbourhoods.

We have translated bits of the article, which is in Finnish.

When some of the largest cities are examined by voting district, it is noticed that the voting percentage has decreased in many of the poorest districts. Due to changes in voting areas, this cannot always be done one by one, but the conclusions are clear."

"... Above all, it confirms that the election boycott of the proletariat will be bigger than ever in these elections. The proletariat rejects bourgeois democracy and opportunism more and more clearly, and the task of the communists is to unite more decisively with these forces in order to politicize, mobilize and organize them in and for the revolutionary struggle."
