The far-right has taken COVID denialism and virus rights advocacy as its own calling card. Similar people here in Finland have noticed this event and appear to be currently planning a similar convoy. I even stumbled into a Telegram group and channel where they are organizing and sharing their ideas. In addition to COVID restrictions and mandates, they are also protesting rising fuel prices.
