The silence emerging from the Perussuomalaiset (PS)* politicians are highly revealing. Their populist autocratic mentor, former President Donald Trump, is history and no longer in power.
KEY FACTS
While only PS MEP Laura Huhtasaari and PS MP Veikko Vallin were some of the very few politicians of the party to comment on the transfer of power, Jussi Halla-aho, Riikka Purra, Ville Tavio, Mauri Peltokangas, Juha Mäenpää, Vilhelm Junnila, and Wille Rydman of the National Coalition Party, as well as Sari Essyah of the Christian Democrats, were silent on Facebook.
Finland’s populist Islamophobic party, the PS, has suffered three blows that threaten to keep its growth in check: Anders Breivik’s terrorist attack in Norway on 22/7, the storming of the Capitol building by Trump supporters, and President Joe Biden’s inauguration as the US’ 46th president.
Two lone responses on Facebook from the PS about President jo Biden’s inauguration. On the left, PS MEP Laura Huhtasaari, an ardent Trump follower, tells us that after all the chaos of his administration no new wars were declared. On the right, is PS MP Veikko Vallin fear-mongering about Guatemalans fleeing that Central American country’s poverty and violence.
More PS-Trump buffoonery.

Wednesday was a good start, a good day for new hope.
You know that Breivik intention was to start witch hunt against anything right so you play on his book.
