The tightening of Finland’s citizenship law is disenfranchisement and sheer hypocrisy by Interior Minister Mari Rantanen
Listening to the anti-immigration rhetoric of Petteri Orpo’s government and especially of its Perussuomalaiset (PS)* interior minister, Mari Rantanen, on tightening citizenship requirements, two matters come to light: racism and hypocrisy. The planned changes in the citizenship law include: Rantanen is not only a multiculturally challenged politician but does not practice what she hatefully preaches….
White-cleaning racism and lies may land you a ministerial seat, Mari Rantanen, but it won’t boost your crediblity
Can anyone really trust Mari Rantanen, the Interior Minister of Perussuoalaiset (PS)* of Finland? All it took to whitewash her far-right racist views was to take down such posts from her social media sites after the election and claim that she does not believe in conspiracy theories. What a coward! She spreads all these far-right…
Radical Right Interior Minister Mari Rantanen tries to erase her racist past
Radical right politicians like Mari Rantanen, the new interior minister of Prime Minister Petteri Orpo’s government, claimed with a poker face in an Uusi Suomi interview that she does not see any racism or far-right issues in her party. “I don’t know then what we are supposed to renounce,” she added. For those who have…
Finland’s new Interior Minister Mari Rantanen “comes out” with her racism and far-right views
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.

EU election – Perussuomalaiset Mari Rntanen article inciting ethnic hatred in 1930s fascist progaganda
Interior Minister Mari Rantanen and her far-right follower of the Perussuomalaiset (PS)* like to copy and paste. Apart from inciting memories of the 1930s, when fascism and anti-Semitism were the order of the day, the PS continues to spread its Islamophobia and fascism. The analogy that the PS makes in their EU election brochure should…
Like a toxic addiction, Finland’s Interior Minister Rantanen cannot kick the habit of her conspiracy theories

National Immigration Forum One long-range plan of the Perussuomalaiset (PS)* party has had is to keep…
The elephant in the room that shows us the way to Hungary, and wishful political thinking in Finland
How can the government be so worried about “national security” if you are ready to trash our most sacred rights like Human Rights, the Constitution, and international agreements? The Draft Act on Temporary Measures to Combat Instrumentalised Migration, or the so-called pushback law, is not only concerning how the constitutional committee can sidestep our most sacred values…
The elephant in the racist room is the Perusuomalaiset and the government
If the Perussuomalaiset (PS)* is a far-right party, is it correct to say that the National Coalition Party a radical-right party? After the second stabbing in a week in Oulu, politicians are sending their condolesneces. The question we should be looking at is the level of disingenuity. Parties like the PS and politicians like Interioir…
There is a connection between far-right conspiracy theories and violence
After Perussuomalaiset (PS)* Finance Minister Riikka Purra was forced to eat her words after falsely claiming that the stabbing of a 12-year-old in Oulu was the work of youth gangs, few if any analysis is being made about the government’s hard-right immigration policy and its spread of conspiracy theories like the great replacement.
