Swedish|The reason for the demonstration has been said to be the peat extraction of the Finnish state company Neova in Sweden.
Swedish the police are conducting an operation at the Finnish embassy in Stockholm. The Swedish media are reporting on it Aftonbladet and Swedish Radio (SR).
The reason for the operation is the climate protestors, who, according to Aftonbladet, have taken themselves to the area. SR, on the other hand, says that one protester climbed a pole in front of the building.
The Återställ Våtmarker organization has confirmed that it is their demonstration. They say the reason is the peat production of the Finnish state company Neova.
“We are organizing a peaceful demonstration, because the Finnish state company Neova continues to extract peat in Sweden, even though it is reducing its own peat production with the help of EU support”, representative of the organization Helen Wahlgren tells Aftonbladet.
Neova published by last week on the site a blog post in which it tells about an “active people’s movement” that aims to protect Swedish bogs and wetlands. In the text, the movement’s claims are said to be questionable.
However, Återställ Våtmarker is not mentioned by name in the text.
