Now even Euronews made an article about this.
alcyoneous ( @alcyoneous@beehaw.org ) 10•1 year agoWow! I knew there was a lot of controversy linked to the new govt there, but now I really understand why. Those comments are abhorrent and someone seemingly that unhinged should not have any positions of power.
President Niinistö even had to comment (the SECOND time within a month) that the government has to set zero tolerance for racism.
brainfreeze ( @brainfreeze@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year agoHey, @QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz! This is maybe a dumb question, but why did you post this on beehaw rather than sopuli?
JillyB ( @JillyB@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year agoI was willing to give benefit of the doubt. We’ve all said things we regret. But damn. What she said is just indefensible. It’s not a moment of misdirected anger. It’s a pattern of extreme racism.

SomeDude ( @ProcurementCat@feddit.de ) 4•1 year ago“but but but the true Finn’s aren’t like other right wing parties!!! They totally are in favor of [insert moderate policy]”
I prefer the party be called “The Rudimentary Finns Party”.
SomeDude ( @ProcurementCat@feddit.de ) 1•1 year ago“The party of people with preliminary Finnish descent”
Or maybe just “Perkele” ist enough.
