Does the Perussuomalaiset (PS) party have issues with racism? Many will agree that they do starting from MPs like Jussi Halla-aho, who were sentenced for ethnic agitation, to city of Kemi councilman, Harri Turtiainen, who shamefully posted racist slogans of the Ku Klux Klan and US American Nazi party on his Facebook page.
The intolerance of the PS is well known. Their anti-EU, anti-immigration, homophobic and especially anti-Islam message repeats itself over and over again like a broken record.
One of the many political stunts of the PS is attempted surrealism. They claim, for example, not to be racist but near-constantly post and make racist comments. They claim they are against the EU but we still don’t know if they want us to terminate membership or ditch the euro.
Below is another example of how the party drives home its anti-EU message. The cartoon, which tries to show that climate change is something that African medicine men predict is not only racist, but insulting.

The number in the corner suggests that this is an election poster for Kyuu Eturautti, who is not a PS candidate but standing for Muutos 2011 (i.e. the caucus that accepted the convicted racist criminal MP James Hirvisaari after he was kicked out of PS over the Nazi salute incident).
On the other hand, the cartoon appears on a PS website, so perhaps this is an attempt at dirty tricks by the PS to suggest that this candidate is beyond the pale even for Muutos 2011 supporters.
