The Perussuomalaiset (PS)* party congress at Lahti exposed to the tee the far-right and racist beast that has always lurked inside the party. Riikka Purra, who won easy reelection as chairperson, rambled on with typical far-right talking points.

Finnish politicians continue to feed the hostile environment against migrants and minorities
“Dog whistles win votes but destroy nations.” Sayeeda Wars, former Conservative Party cochairperson. To understand the thuggery that happened in the United Kindom, we should set the record straight: They were race riots instigated by mobs of white men. It is not the first time that the United Kingdom has experienced race riots. The first…

Here we go again with the great replacement theory and the government’s zero tolerance of racism
With the Perussuomalaiset (PS) sinking in the polls, it’s clear that the Islamophobic party is pulling as many old tricks out of its racist hat. One of these is the great replacement theory, a white supremacist claim that Europe is white and not diverse Tweets Purra: It is not a conspiracy theory to look at…
The Finnish government’s xenophobic knee-jerk response: The asylum seekers are coming! Shut the border”
Yle: “Today [Wednesday] about 70 asylum seekers asked for asylum [at the Russian border].” A-studio: “One hundred thousand people attempt to cross the Mediterranean annually [to enter Europe].” I’ve been quiet, watching with manifest unease, the actions of the government spearheaded by the Islamophobic Perussuomalaiset (PS)* party about the trickle of asylum seekers arriving at…
Ahti Tolvanen: Hallitukselle RE: “Nollatoleranssi syrjinnälle ja rasismille”
Koska eduskunnalta pyydetään hallituksella luottamusta, vaikka tämä samalla sijoittaisi vaikutusvaltaiseen asemaan rasismia tai valkoisen rodun ylivaltaa vuosia sanoilla ja teoillaan eri tavoin edistäneitä henkilöitä kuten Purra, Rantanen ja Rydman, on pyyntö harvinaisen ongelmallinen.Eduskuntaa pyydetään samalla hyväksymään ohjelmaehdotuksen, jonka tavoitteena on pääministeri Orpon ilmoittama ”nollatoleranssi syrjinnälle ja rasismille.” Orpon hallitukseen kohdistuu ennennäkemätön haaste, selvästi vaatien hyvin…
Riikka Purra plays the victim and plays down her racist blog writings of 2008

On the right, a self-confident Riikka Purra….
22/7: A day of infamy we must never forget but returns
It is a creepy coincidence that during another 22/7 anniversary when a mass murderer in Norway killed in cold blood 77 victims in 2011, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark are ruled by governments that are hostile to people from outside the EU. In Finland, we have two far-right terrorist investigations suspected of planning attacks against migrants….
All you have to do is look at Orpo’s government to understand Finland’s shameful racism problem now threatening our democracy
Prime Minister Petteri Orpo is a weak leader and part of Finland’s racism problem. National Coalition Party (NCP) Prime Minister Petteri Orpo’s government, which has been christened as the Chamber of Horrors by Munich-based daily, Süddeutsche Zeitun, is a disappointing example of how you should not confront racism in this country. Many are rightfully worried about…
Finland’s Prime Minister Orpo’s Pyrrhic victory
