That kind of MP:s we have now. #FinnsParty is the ruling Party, shooter were police officer earlier. What kind of MP even takes gun with him to restaurant and start shooting? Everytime I think things are going bad, then comes out that no, situation is going worse thant you could imagine. They are racists, they are fasists, they are destroying everything that has been good in #Finland.

The appointed Secretary of State for the Ministry of Transport and Communications, Kari Ilkkala, seems to not be able to pass a security clearance by SUPO (the Finnish Security Intelligence Service). Ilkkala violated official secrecy and have considerable debts.

End of the story. Also the Supreme Court (KKO) of #Finland found this member of parliament guilty.
"The ruling was Sebastian Tynkkynen's third for ethnic agitation, following verdicts handed down in 2017 and 2019.
The verdict found that Tynkkynen had slandered and insulted immigrants and asylum seekers in two Facebook posts that were written as part of his municipal election campaign in 2017."
#Finns Party mastermind defends long-term goal to leave the #EU. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/finns-party-mastermind-defends-long-term-goal-exit-eu-2023-08-12/ #finland #torille 🇫🇮 #PERUSSUOMALAISET #finnsparty
She does understand that the *former leader of the party* was convicted of ethnic agitation right? Right?!!
She and her party have stretched plausible deniability well beyond the breaking point here. The racial attitudes that infest the Finns Party are well documented. Their moral stance is and has been quite clear. The longer Henriksson and her party try to hold on to power-sharing with the Finns Party the more difficult it becomes to see the difference in moral fortitude between them.
Shameful.
The All Points North podcast reviews the political turbulence in #Finland as racism and far-right scandals rock the coalition government.
Non-Discrimination Ombudsman Kristina Stenman:
"We get messages from people who have been living in Finland for a long time, saying that #racism is becoming more of an everyday thing, and that these kinds of slurs and problematic behavior are something that people encounter more frequently today."
"HS publishes racist messages by (Finland's) Economic Affairs Minister Rydman"
Another #racist MP from the #FinnsParty have his shame showed to the World and now is the Economic Affairs Minister. Obviously there is racism in Finland too, but the most voted parties shouldn't make alliances with openly racists just to gain power

Does #Finland take #racism to lightly? Very likely, according to the recent poll made by #Taloustutkimus.
Answer to the question
#Racism isn't taken seriously enough in Finland
tells that the supporters for the 3 parties out of 4 in the gov't of #PetteriOrpo are among the least worried.
PS = #FinnsParty
Kok = Conservatives (biggest)
KD = Christian Democrats
RKP = Swedish People's Party of FIN
In opposition Left Alliance (Vas) and Greens (Vihr) are most worried.

Finland’s Neoliberal and Far-Right Alliance Is a Sign of Things to Come in Europe
In Finland, a new government represents how compatible neoliberal and far-right politics are. The Left must answer the challenge by opposing austerity in addition to racism

More racist scum outed in the government of #Finland:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-66166795
Just to be clear, she posted her original filth when she was the tender age of.. er.. 30. 🙄
She joins the list of other racist party members including #VilhelmJunnila, #MariRantanen and #JussiHallaaho
How has she not resigned yet? What's the problem, #Finland?
#FinnsParty leader #Riikka #Purra said that as an MP or minister, she would not write all the things she has written in the past, but she has no intention of resigning or regretting her past actions.
[...]
The comments on the Scripta blog — written under the username "riikka" — include multiple uses of the Finnish equivalent of the n-word as well as other racial slurs, anti-immigrant rhetoric and apparent threats of violence. The texts use racist expressions such as "mocha dicks" and "Turkish monkeys".

Quite the clown show here in #Finland with this marriage of the racist-nationalist party and the conservative party in government.
And they had the audacity to criticise Marin's government which had to respond to both corona and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
This is embarrassing and damaging to Finland.
Let's hope we get a government with some basic human decency and governmental competence before the next major crisis hits.

The speaker of the #Parliament of #Finland Jussi #Hallaaho starts running for #presidency. He is member of The #FinnsParty and convicted for hate speech and #racist comments.
His changes to be elected are minimal. Support of the FParty is about 20 %. Not likely he has even a chance for the 2nd round. Operation may be a strategy of the FParty to divert public attention during growing social unrest.

An article from January, 2023...
'"Looking at the speeches of individual MPs, these speeches have been racist and genuinely hostile to certain minorities. There is no denying this; it is a fact. I don't understand why we politicians should smile and pretend that these speeches are not real," Marin said.'
