FIRST OF MAY GET-TOGETHER AT MY VILLAGE SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC ASSOCIATION

Maybe not the largest, but active and sincere, the social democratic local in my Helsinki suburban village. Starting the 1st of May celebrations yesterday with the traditional glass of mead at the small office – miniature Workers Hall – of the Pitäjänmäki Workers Association ( Pitäjänmäen Työväenyhdistys ).

My own candidate in the upcoming European Parliament elections Mikkel Näkkäläjärvi joined us for a brief talk about the aims of the forthcoming Finnish EU presidency. Mikkel comes from the northernmost part of Finland, Ivalo in Lapland, and will be the first EU parliamentarian representing Europe’s recognised indigenous peoples. Mikkel is also president of Finland’s social democratic youth and is considered to have a very good chance to get elected.

In our pictures also Pirjo Kivistö, my neighbour and friend in Pitäjänmäki, who is chair of this social democratic local and very active also on the municipal party levels.
