Finland’s new interior minister, Mari Rantanen of the Perussuomalaiset (PS)* party, wrote on her webpage before the April general election: “We mustn’t be so naive [naive in Finnish means being ‘blue-eyed’] that soon we won’t be blue-eyed.”
The posting can no longer be found on her webpage.
In a recent interview with Iltalehti, Rantanen, who is a nurse with police basic training, elaborated on her “blue-eye” comment.
Iltalehti: “What did you mean that soon we won’t have any blue-eyed people [in Finland]?
Rantanen: “I meant exactly what it says.”
Iltalehti: “In your opinion, are blue-eyed people better than others?”
Rantanen: “Just like I said, it states what I meant. The focus is not on racial policies, that is not the issue at hand.
At the heart of National Socialist racial doctrine is the maintenance of the traits of the ‘Aryan race’, such as superiority and maintenance of blond hair and blue eyes. Ethnic cleansing has been practiced in various parts of the world in the name of such a doctrine.
Among the most famous people responsible for committing genocide is Adolf Hitler’s who used it against Jews, the mentally handicapped, homosexuals, Slavs, and Roma.
Finland’s new Interior Minister Mari Rantanen’s sympathies for racism and fascism are evident in this cartoon published before the municipal election, where she throws in the trash can parties like the Social Democrats, Center Party, Left Alliance and in the recycling bin concepts like BLM, globalism, Antifa, feminism and communism.
ltalehti: “Do you believe in the great replacement theory?”
Rantanen: “I trust statistics.”
Iltalehti: What kinds of statistics?
Rantanen: “Population statistics. You can even take a peek at the demographic change in Sweden, and we want to avoid such a thing happening in Finland.”
After that comment, Rantanen ended the interview.
Even if a member of the Finnish government spreads racist and far-right opinions like the great replacement theory, they have also been spread by PS chairperson Riikka Purra (finance minister), Leena Meri (justice minister), MP Sebastian Tynkkynen and many others.
How did we get here?
We got here because Finland has a festering racism problem that it denies and wants to stamp out with a soft stick.
Ask Prime Minister Petteri Orpo what he is doing leading such a government full of members with questionable backgrounds.
The answer is simple: He’s leading such a government because he also houses the same views. Orpo still hides in the closet while ministers like Rantanen have come out with their racism and far-right views.
