The EU's antisemitism watchdog, Katharina von Schnurbein, told Yle that Finnish authorities need to do more to combat hate speech, including antisemitic narratives.
"Our surveys suggest that one in two Europeans sees antisemitism as a problem in their home country. Among Finns that figure is 17 percent," she said, adding that Finland's relatively small Jewish community may have impacted the results.
Some 1,500 people in Finland practice Judaism.
Schnurbein noted that antisemitic awareness was also relatively low in Finland.
