  1. Hello World!

    It's #Finland calling!

    Haven't been updating the terrible actions of our horrendous conservative - #FarRight government, but it has been horrible all the time.

    Lately, the far right #TheFinns party has again been mumbling about the #GreatReplacement conspiracy theory.

    And the so-called centre-right and right-wing liberal parties just stick with it, because all the #austerity for the poor and tax cuts for the rich, they can do.

  3. 2/2 The far right the Finns Party has been haunting our public broadcaster #Yle ever since 2011.

    Now, 2nd time as a #government party, they got partially what they've been wanting - the financing of #Yleisradio will be cut for 200 M € during the near future.

    They've also tried to affect to #journalism itself.

  5. Hi, it's #Finland calling!

    Pardon, no article about this in English, but must share anyways.

    The think tank of the #FarRight government party #TheFinns started a web page vaestonvaihto - #GreatReplasement, and "there's absolutely no #ConspiracyTheory behind it!"

    They are comparing the rise of migrants here for instance with the colonization of the US by the Europeans who then repressed the #FirstNations.

    And they somehow forget that the #SámiPeople were here first

  7. Hello World!

    For a long time we've brought you only terrible news about #politics in #Finland, because of the current #conservative #FarRight government.

    But now there's some very good news!

    The far right #TheFinns party had a massive loss in the #EUelections, while the #LeftAlliance gained a massive and surprising victory being the 2nd largest party of the #EU2024 elections.

    Yes, the conservative #NCP - the prime minister party - sadly is the winner.

    Remember the #HateSpeechMan (#Speaker of the house) Jussi Halla-aho?

    The former leader of #TheFinnsParty? The #FarRight party over here.

    #Hallaaho who has spoke about the #FreedomOfSpeech during his whole political career.

    Well, he has made a police complaint about defamation against a comedian, #IikkaKivi, because he called him a #fascist in a tweet.

  13. Once again I'm terribly ashamed of being a Finn.

    There has been several these kind of days after the election in April, and the new #FarRight #Conservative government of ours.

    A racist #government, that is fomenting fear and hysteria over couple of dozens of migrants and #AsylumSeekers in our Eastern border.

    And yes, I do hate #Putin and all of his actions, including this usage of people as pawns.

  15. 5/5 The main suspect is a former #TheFinnsParty member, who has, for instance, been candidating for the party in elections.

    This #Lahti-case is not even the only actual #FarRight #terrorism trial in #Finland, since the police is investigating a group that operated in #Kankaanpää, too.

    Well, the #conservative #FarRight government has been in the crisis during their whole excistance.

    And #SPP, the only liberal party, has been in a great pain because of #TheFinns party, and because the liberal minority of #NCP has stayed silent.

    Nearly no one even believed that they SPP would actually participate in this #government, and we've been waiting for them to leave, and this might be yet another step to that direction.

  19. Today there's some good news about the #politics in #Finland!

    The popularity of the #conservative #FarRight government has fallen.

    According to #Yle poll the 4 governing parties have 46,9 % support (We have a majority government tradition).

    #NCP falls 2,2 %, #TheFinns 1 %, and the liberal #SPP 0,2 %, which already can be a crucial loss for them in the #EUelections next year - they can loose their only seat.

    #SocialDemocrats take the lead with 22,8 % support.

    Firstly: Sorry, I don't speak #German. In #Finland it often has been so, that in school you choose either German or #French. I picked the latter back in the days

    But:

    Don't believe a word our prime minister Petteri #Orpo is saying.

    Yes, there is a #FarRight party in our #government. #TheFinns is a far right party. It's not a matter of opinion, many academics have said so. And yes, #TheFinnsParty is a very #racist one

    That's all, have good weekend!

    It started when in the 2nd World War #Mannerheim made the companionship deal with #Hitler.

    And this has continued to our days, and #TheFinns are totally detached from the other #FarRight paries of Europe.

    Nope. She was grown up person doing her PhD (that she hasn't finished even by now).

    Some of these writings _peeked_ a bit in the news on February. But it didn't got big, then.

    Not even if the parliament elections was on their way in March and April.

    The National Coalition Party, the prime minister's party, was also the party of the new minister some months ago. But Rydman was kicked out of their group after the media exposed his years long grooming history. And then joined The Finns -party. And is now a minister in NCP's government.
