Description
Lieksa is a municipality in the east-Finland with a relative large population of refugees. The far right True Finns Party's local department requested from the city council a "clean meeting room" for the True Finns meetings. The request came after the working group for Somali Affairs (Somaliasian tyoryhma) had been assigned with the usage of the same room for their meetings. The request took place prior to the start of the official council meeting at a coffee table with the members of the council.
