The establishment of a republican form of government will be celebrated in Finland

The Republic of Finland will turn 100 in the summer. The main celebrations will be held in the fall.

The republican form of government in Finland in the summer will be one hundred years old.

Parliament passed a law in June 1919. It was approved on July 17 of the same year by the then regent KG. Mannerheim.

In honor of this event, July 17 this year is declared the day of raising the flags.

At the same time, official celebrations and other commemorative events will be held in September, the State Council Office informs.

Finland declared independence in December 1917. Soon after, a bloody civil war began, and after its completion, the parliament, from whose work the Social Democrats were excluded, decided to establish a monarchy in Finland. These plans failed in the autumn of 1918 after the defeat of Kaiser Germany in World War I. As a concession to the monarchists in the republican form of government provides extensive powers of the president.
