According to Helsingin Sanomat, the Helsinki city council voted to build a Ghusi facility for Muslims at the Malmi cemetery. In the same way, the Finns washed their dead in saunas before burial, and Muslims in Finland will have the same opportunity to show their respect for their deceased. Even if sensible people would have no qualms about such a matter, there was one person and party that did.
Yes, you guessed correctly. The party is the Perussuomalaiset (PS)*, and the politician, city councilor Laura Korpinen, an MEP candidate on the shameful “let them drown” list.
In 2019, an Alma Median EU election compass asked if it is “the obligation of the EU to save all those migrants who attempt to come to Europe and who are at risk of drowning in the Mediterranean?”
MEP candidates of the PS and National Coalition Party as the most eager to allow migrants to drown in the Mediterranean.
In an earlier tweet, Korpinen claimed that the PS and Christian Democrats voted against the additional facility at the Malmi cemetery. She corrected her Tweet by stating that only the PS voted against such a facility for Muslims. Source: Twitter
Korpinen Tweets: “The Helsinki city council approved a project at the Malmi cemetery to build an [additional] facility for the deceased, which will be pinned on tax-payers for ritual cleansing of Muslims.”
Even if the vote passed in the city council, it showed that the PS lives on a different planet when it comes to cultural diversity and respect for other cultures and religions.
City councilor Björn Månsson of the Swedish People’s Party hit it on the dot: “This is a record new low for the Perussuomalaiset. Now even the deceased are discriminated.”
Finland’s anti-immigration and far-right atmosphere tightened another notch.
