A just and good ending to a cruel ordeal by Migri
I recieved a phone call on Wednesday: “I have some good news,” I waited with keen anticipation for the next part of her sentence. “We were granted residence permits [by Migri, the Finnish Immigration Service]!” “That’s great news!” I said. The date, 25 june 2025, will stand out as one of the most important in…
The US’ and Israel’s cowardly and politically motivated attack on Iran
The United States has bombed Iran dragging the US into a new war in the Middle East. Even if Donald Trump said that the bombing on Iran’s nuclear sites were a “resounding success,” how many wars were won by simply bombing a country? None? Trump is Benjamin Netanyahu’s humble servant.

The misfortunes of the Perussuomalaiset (PS)* have been a source of concern from some and happiness for others. After the 2011 general election, when the PS won 39 seats versus five previously, some of us have had to put up with the party’s racism and Finland’s inability and normalization of anti-immigration populism.

Mahad Sheikh Musse:* Kun pienet eleet satuttavat: Nuorisotyön vastuusta ja nuorten kokemuksesta.
Se oli nopea hetki – kuva nuorten tapahtumasta, jonka piti välittää iloa, kohtaamista ja yhteisöllisyyttä. Mutta tarkemmin katsottuna jokin särähti.

Vaikka ele itsessään voi monelle näyttää viattomalta, konteksti, historia ja eleen ajoitus tekevät siitä merkityksellisen. Tämä…
The PS’ new board spells trouble for the party but good news for those who oppose far-right anti-immigration populism
The Perussuomalaiset (PS)* party congress at Lahti exposed to the tee the far-right and racist beast that has always lurked inside the party. Riikka Purra, who won easy reelection as chairperson, rambled on with typical far-right talking points. Claiming that white Finnish culture was under attack, she placed the blame on so-called mass immigration from…

How will the far-right PS exploit migrant crime in the general election of 2027?
With the next general election on 18 April 2027, some eyes are pointing towards the Perussuomalaiset (PS)*, which suffered a catastrophic municipal and county election. If such misfortunes aren’t enough, recent opinion polls have put the far-right party in fourth place behind the Center Party. The PS’ fall is significant. The last time the party was at…
