Perussuomalaiset (PS)* Finnish Interior Minister Mari Rantanen not only loathes Muslims and other minorities, but her suspicion of migrants and minorities have made her paranoid. The panacea of all of Finland’s problems are groups like Muslims, according to her.
Without giving a shred of evidence of social security fraud, Rantanen wants to create Kela (The Social Insurance Institution) agents to uncover fraud and create a hotline to get people to snitch on others.
This is another frightening example of where fear can lead you on slippery slopes. Rantanen’s, the PS and the government’s unfair and racist treatment of migrants is strengthening suspicion, polarizing society and causing Finland great harm. Xenophobia is an chronic illness.
