Pirate Party of Finland Becomes Officially Registered

The Pirate Party of Finland have just informed FreakBits that today they have been added to the official party registry. They will focus on protecting civil rights and expanding freedom of information.

Last September The Pirate Party of Finland (Piraattipuolue) began collecting the 5000 supporter signatures required by Finnish law. That milestone was achieved and the party handed them to the Ministry of Justice in early June 2009.

Piraattipuolue is now able to participate in the Finnish parliamentary, municipal and European parliamentary elections. Their primary goal: get their representatives in the Finnish parliament at the 2011 election.

“Piraattipuolue has a steady support and our membership figures are climbing steadily. Pirates are an important part of our society”, says chairman Pasi Palmulehto.

The Pirate Party of Finland becomes the 8th officially registered Pirate Party and currently has around 2,370 members.
