Ilahduttavaksi yllätykseksemme Migrant Tlesin toimituskunnan jäsenen Ahti Tolvasen kuva oli sunnuntaina Helsingin Sanomien etusivulla. Hän oli yksi niistä yli 11 000-20 000 mielenosoittajasta, jotka sunnuntaina vastustivat pääministeri Petteri Orpon hallituksen rasismia. Onnittelut Ahti!

Eivät ministerit voi tehdä mitä hyvänsä….

The only way for the government to save face is for Riikka Purra to resign
The big question is what impact will the racism scandals that have rocked Prime Minister Petteri Orpo’s government. For one, they reveal an era when politicians can say anything they want and face little to no accountability. Perussuomalaiset (PS)* Finance Minister Riikka Purra’s racist and violent comments of 2008 have put her in a difficult…
Finnish racism, the PS, and the duck test: Nobody knew, but suddenly everyone now knows
One of the most startling comments heard from politicians like Prime Minister Petteri Orpo and Anna-Maja Henriksson of the Swedish People’s Party (SPP) is that they were ignorant of the Perussuomalaiset’s (PS)* racist posts and comments on social media.

Finland is a country that has lost its way and where democracy is now under threat

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.

Thanks to the leadership of Prime Minister Petteri Orban, Finland’s international image has suffered a devastating blow. In a matter of over two weeks, the country’s reputation has swung from having a forward-looking and charismatic prime minister like Sanna Marin to one that denies and wants to do business with a radical-right party. The government…
Reija Härkönen: Onko kokoomuksen maine nyt palautettu?
Wille Rydmanin paha sai viimein palkkansa: hän joutui eroamaan kokoomuksesta ja siirtymään vähemmän mairittelevaan perussuomalaiseen puolueeseen. Alaikäisten tyttöjen lähentely toi lopulta niin paljon ikävää palautetta, että kokoomus joutui luopumaan yhdestä puolueen kultamunista.”Kokoomukselle on kunniaksi, että ongelmaedustajasta hankkiuduttiin eroon”, otsikoi Kansan Uutiset. https://www.ku.fi/artikkeli/4817157-perussuomalaisten-sanat-ja-teot-tyttojen-ahdistelu-oli-vaaliteema-nyt-rydman-kelpaa Koska artikkelissa käsiteltiin perussuomalaisten kaksinaismoralismia – vaaleissa teemana pikkutyttöjen ahdistelu, mutta nyt ansioitunut…
