Helsingin kaupunginvaltuustossa on 21 kokoomuksen edustajaa. Heistä kolmannekselta löysin nopealla googlauksella rasistisia kommentteja. Listaan niitä tähän satunnaisessa järjestyksessä ja kommentoin sellaisia, joiden sisältämä rasismi ei ehkä kaikille heti aukea. ”Suomeen on rantautunut kaksi vierasta alkuperää olevaa haitallista ideologiaa: humanitaaristen maahanmuuttajien mukanaan Lähi-idästä tuoma islamismi ja Amerikasta sellaisenaan kopioitu woke.

It’s the elephant in the room, stupid!
In the face of what is happening in the United States under President Donald Trump and the rise of far-right parties in Europe like the AfD of Germany, one may ask if we have crossed the point of no return. Finland’s municipal and county elections of April offer us a clear no to that question….
Linkedin: Islamophobia is on the rise in Finland: What is the role of the government?
If this question were asked to Prime Minister Petteri Orpo of the National Coalition Party, we would not have to guess his answer.

The PS is fascist to the core and so is its enabler, the National Coalition Party

Left Alliance offers an option to the government’s austerity, anti-environmental and xenophobic policies
The government of National Coalition Party (NCP) Prime Minister Petteri Orpo looks like after a year like a wrecking ball of Finland’s social welfare state.

Mari Rantanen has no credibility and should resign – her racist posts reveal who she is
In the face of the far right in government, the only thing that Prime Minister Petteri Orpo can parrot is that we have a good government program.

The National Coalition Party (NCP) was spared…
Will refugees at the Finnish-Russian border suffer the same fate as those on Greece’s Evros River and other EU borders?
“…the job of the politician is to guarantee the safety of its own citizens and to guard its borders, and that’s what Finns expect.” Perussuomalaiset (PS)* MP Laura Huhtasaari, A-studio (3.6.2024) The answer given by PS MP Huhtasaari to justify pushbacks and deaths is a raw example of the inhumanity used during Nazi Germany to…

The program’s development began last year when then President Sauli Niinistö was questioned at an international press conference about racist remarks made by ministers in the Petteri Orpo government. Announced in May, the program calls for anti-racist…
