Suomen Sisu (Translated: ''Finnish Sisu'') is a Finnish association that defines itself as nationalist and patriotic, criticizing unlimited immigration and multiculturalism. Suomen Sisu proclaims to support the idea of independent national states, that govern themselves sovereignly, and opposes supranational co-operation, especially the European Union. Suomen Sisu was established as the Youth Organisation of the Association of Finnish Culture and Identity (''Suomalaisuuden Liitto'') in 1998, but this affiliation was broken in 2000. The organization is not affiliated with any political party, but its members have operated in several parties as individuals. The association gained publicity in the spring of 2006 when it published the Muhammad-cartoons on its web site. Member of Parliament Jari Vilén asked the police to investigate the issue, but it did not lead to prosecution. Finnish Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen apologised the deed in public, which was interpreted by Suomen Sisu as "flattering the islamists". Suomen Sisu was described as a "Nazi spirited" group by the Finnish newspaper ''Länsiväylä''; the association's president deemed the description incorrect and filed a complaint with the Council for Mass Media in Finland. The Council ruled that as the ''Länsiväylä'' had given the president of the association an opportunity to publish his own letter regarding the issue in the ''Länsiväylä'', the Council saw no need for further action. However, when the president of Suomen Sisu asked the Ministry of the Interior to investigate, whether the police lieutenant mentioned in the paper's article had actually described the organization as "Nazi spirited" or not, the lieutenant denied ever making such claims about the organization.〔Decision of the Finnish Ministry of the Interior, code SMDno/2009/404, dated 2 June 2009.
