P: You are underlining the governments ability to work together and be able to function, but today in the press conference Purra said that “these things will not end”. So what does that mean, more scandals ahead?

Orpo: I believe she thinks that discussion around government politicians will continue in. But as I said, it’s good that these things are sorted through, backgrounds are sorted through, and if is necessary come to conclusions like the resignation of minister Junnila. but now-

P: So you see that these (resignations) things can be coming?

Orpo: No. I dont see that, I dont have any intel for that sorts of things but -

P: Have you prepared after all this?

Orpo: In politics, and in world in general, you learn that all the time it’s possible to be surprised, and oh boy have we had enough of those in these 3 weeks.

P: so should i interpret that you have prepared?

Orpo: You have to be. But i hope this is done now and we get to work.

then Orpo tells in a very long manner how we should appraise governments actions and work not anything else and that no one in there does anything discriminatory or anything that even hints of racism. so bla bla bla.

P: I must ask as the beginning has been so difficult, will the government stay intact?

Orpo: Yes it will. I think its good once we get through these discussions and get to appraise the ministers -

P: So a good airing out in process?

Orpo: Yes, after that i believe the table is cleared and we get to work. And as the GP is good, it’s according to what the finnish people voted for in the elections. Government parties won the elections and we want to get to work.

P: Yes yes you have said that many times here, but yesterday president Niinistö took a stance in the matter and said government should commit to zero tolerance for racism. Do you and if so, what does it mean to you?

Orpo: In the statement we published we used the same term as president. And what it means in action is that not one of the ministers or the government not in legislative work or acting as a minister can spread, get blamed for racism or discrimination of any kind. That is clear.

P: Not of any kind?

Orpo: Racism is not, you cant play with it, you cant joke about it or just be a little racist. This is clear as day to me.

P: Zero tolerance, if from any minister theres racist texts or other revealings, how will you act?

Orpo: Every party and minister in government has committed to not being accused of or doing it. On the contrary we strive to weed it out.
#naziJokePrimeMinister

P: but what if there’s more racist texts comes to light?

Orpo: it’ll be intervened.

P: How?

Orpo: I was talking about a different thing now, we have this going through the histories and this has come as example for a public apology and changing one minister. Then there’s another thing thats on my responsibility and on every minister too. How we act in this respected position in the government. In that the guidelines are clear, yesterday we went through them again.

P: But will there be an airing out conversation within the government and if, when?

Orpo: I think we have discussed within the government the whole time and but as clear is that the government is only three weeks old. So ofc we need a-lot of sittings, building theme spirit and going through the guidelines, getting to know them and acting by them.

(sounds more like a summer camp for troubled teens than a government.)

#naziJokeGoverment

P: Is the government in a crisis right now?

Orpo: It is not. Last time we went through everything was yesterday with party leaders. We have clear steppingstones how to go forward, clear framework, clear principles. we have strengthened them to one and another and i see how every minister acts right now for the best of this country. And i want to insure finnish people that we will do what ever it takes to ensure success in the government works -

Orpo again: bc that means we put to action our excellent government program and that is what Finland needs to be a well doing country also in the future.

P: The government you lead has had headlines in many big media houses around the world. Purras “turkish monkey” has been in the papers in Turkey and foreign affairs minister Elina Valtonen conveyed the government’s apology to them. How stunning (bad) have these headlines been to Finland? this is another public question.

Orpo: They’re not good that is very clear. Finnish image in the world is very strong, very strong. All ministers need to convey that trustworthy Finland is not changing.

blablabla democraty blablabla its good that foreign minister is so blablabla.

P: There’s cracks in many places now. How do you fix that?

Orpo: By working.

P: How in action? What does it mean.

Orpo: By practical work and actions but also by conveying this message strongly what i’ve been saying too. Finland hasn’t changed, government guidelines are in line with free western democratic principles. That is taken care of and conveyed. In concrete actions when government gets to work and people will see this. GP is good and theres none of those things feared now.

P: Well, Putin has stated that the attack in Ukraine was because of nazis in Ukraine. How well did this nazi conversation play into their hand?

Orpo: First of all nazism and its history is upsetting. Everything around nazism needs to be judged and it has no place in this country or world. As we have done, we must completely resign from it. This word made Junnila resign cause he understood the effects it had on Finland and its government.

P: But do you see a risk in that Kreml takes an advantage of this?

Orpo: They will take advantage of every weak spot in surrounding countries. They find the ways to harm us, we must be united and strong. (more of the same said in countless different ways bla bla)

P: Last question, has the balancing of economy driven past respecting human rights (orpo speaking over) and western values?

Orpo: Certainly not, certainly not. These two things aren’t in a conflict and dont shut each other out. We stick to our values and they’re in the same GP as our economic objectives, getting people jobs, taking care of elderly, getting people in for treatment when they need it, that effort is put into schools. Thats all in the same GP.

P: Thank you for coming.

Whole lot of manure. ught. yeah no im not watching any more of his interviews.

if you have read this whole thread you know that Orpo spoke pure bullshit the whole time.

what a fucking disgrace.

I just wonder how does the shutting down a antiracist program fit in between everything Orpo just said on TV about respecting human rights and weeding out racism and what BF nazies say behind his back.

this whole political circus is a fucking joke and im tired of it already. #naziJokeGovernment #naziJokePrimeMinister

Leader of Left Alliance parliament group Jussi Saramo (amoung others) is calling for a pause in the summer recess so that governments trustworthiness can be put to a vote.

the way to do so is that parliament speaker summons the parliament.

you might remember that speaker in question is one well known BF fascist, Jussi Halla-Aho, so I doubt he will be doing anything that could harm his party. Even tho that’s exactly what is expected of him now as speaker of parliament.
#naziJokeGovernment

btw did you know why Jussi Halla-Aho is not one of the ministers?

because he doesn’t qualify.

why you ask?

he has a criminal record from agitating against group of people. basically spreading lies and encouraging violence against many marginalised groups.

He will not, in any way give his “opponents” anything that they can use against BF. So i doubt very much that anything will happen before the end of summer recess. #naziJokeGovernment #naziJokePrimeMinister
#HateSpeakerOfParliament

As seen above prime minister Orpo doesn’t see any reason for this either. He feels everything is fine as long as everyone would stop bothering the government so they could defund the well-fare state in peace.

who knew that when lifted into powerful and respectful positions, fascists would misuse that power? who knew? who?

(everyone who understands history.)

Finnish citizens have made a petition for Riikka Purras immediate resignation. It has gathered over 60 000 signatures.

BF baboons have also written their own petition, check that below. #naziJokeMinister #riikkaPurra

Maker of the resignation petition is already being targeted in the local 4chan.

I need to add this to the #OlenAntirasisti campaing business.

In 2021 Leena Meri, current minister of justice, has complained about a “bizarre antiracism campaign” that the ministry of justice had.

Now that she is the minister of justice, she has terminated the campaign last week without the knowledge of Non-Discrimination Ombudsman who is one of the facet working in that campaign.

The announcements made by prime minister Petteri Orpo echo in the background. #naziJokeGovernment

“I want to discuss with my whole group, and then we’ll see what they think” says Minister of education Anna-Maja Henriksson, also leader of Swedish People Party (SPP).

We’ll see if you finally find you backbone or if its just more tape and glue you’re offering. #naziJokeGoverment

In the meantime, Minister of Finances Riikka Purra continues her racist shit on twitter.

she is trying to sound feminist here for some reason but make no mistake, the women she is talking about in there.. she called them “unrecognisable black sacks” who basically destroy her precious country by just existing there.

tw: for racism in the second picture.

another #antiNaziGovernment protest held today in Joensuu, Finland.

it had well over 50 participants which is not bad for a small, former nazi skinhead town and with zero advertising budget. More to come i promise you that.

lot of good speeches held there and i am sure some are already circling in social media.

also we voted for the confidence in minister Purra. only 2 voted yes and the rest voted no so, fuck you Purra. 🖕
#naziJokeGovernment #fuckNazies #naziJokePrimeMinister

idk how many people there actually where i’m neither a police officer or a mathematician.

To other news!

Petteri Orpo is in Germany! He has lied in a diplomatic conversation that there is no far right parties in the government and other such nonsense like a proper nazi puppet. I am sure German journalist are having a good news day. #naziJokePrimeMinister

OKAY SO, Purra was elected to parliament with 42 594 votes.

the petition demanding her immediate resignation has gathered 90 645, no wait 90 768, no wait 90 775, no wait it just keeps rising. Well i will inform you once it hits 100 000 signatures.

SO ANYWAY, it’s already more than double.

if you live in Finland or just to check how many signatures there are when you come cross this, the link: https://www.adressit.com/stats.php?id=407041

now its 90 966.

#antiNaziGovernment #antiGovernmentProtesters #naziJokeGovernment #naziJokeMinister #naziJokePrimeMinister

in other news today SPP (rkp) has had a meeting earlier today.

they’re worried about the government but don’t wish to rock the boat.

what they’re asking is that prime minister Orpo has a tough conversation with the government parties, _once again_.

Opposition partied have given speaker of parliament Halla-Aho a petition to pause the summer recess for a vote about governments creditability. He has promised to consider. #naziJokeGovernment #naziJokeMinister #naziJokePrimeMinister

Petition demanding fascist minister Riikka Purras immediate resignation now has over 100k signatures. Fuck you and your “strong mandate” from the people of Finland. 🖕

#naziJokeGoverment #naziJokeMinister #resignPurra #fuckNazis #fuckNazies #eiNatsejaMihinkään #eroaPurra

Purra has, once again, threatened that she will kick over the whole fucking government if SPP wont join in supporting her.

She has also made clear that she hasn’t even considered resigning even with the petition and that she will not apologise for her later racist texts as those are perfectly in line with BFs agenda.

Basically BF politicians are just waiting for people to lose interest in the matter by fall.

below screenshots from Iltalehti articles. #naziJokeMinister #naziJokeGovernment

Minister of finances, one nazi called Riikka Purra is trying very hard to spin her racist 2019 “take” on women wearing burkas being the demise of Finland to be some kind of feminist things where she was talking against oppression of women.

that’s bullshit and to demonstrate, here is how she among others voted when parliament discussed about expanding the abortion rights.

She doesn’t give a shit about women rights or anyones for that matter. #resignPurra #naziJokeMinister #naziJokeGovernment

All of the opposition parties are now demanding speaker of parliament Jussi “hate speaker” Halla-Aho to summon the parliament from summer recess.

He has said that he will consider it “if majority of the parliament demands it”. That would mean government parties need to work against themselves.

This is borderline going agains the constitution already so lets see what happens next. #hateSpeakerOfParliament #naziJokeGoverment

That was fast, Halla-Aho has now informed the he wont summon the parliament for a vote against Riikka Purra.

who the fuck is surprised? i know i am not in even the slightest.

Now i expected that the opposition parties will forward the case to the Constitutional Law Committee as questioning his ability to operate as speaker of parliament, position that demands respectability and neutrality as well as leaving party politics out of decision making.

#naziJokeGovernment #hateSpeakerOfParliament

Another site concentrating in anti discriminatory has disappeared from the website of Ministry of Justice in the mids of this fascist takeover attempt.

This time it’s a campaign against sexual harassment and violence. #naziJokeGovernment #fascism #finland #politics #politicsFinland

next #antiGovernmentProtest titled “Zero tolerance! Racists out of the government.” is coming on wednesday 19.7. in Helsinki and you can join in by social media too.

i am not exactly sure how many antigovernment protests there has already been in these three weeks but this is at least tenth so far.

thanking all the existing and nonexistent entities for this:

Finnish opposition parties do not accept Halla-Ahos decision and accuse him (justly) for protecting minister Purra. BF politician Jani Mäkelä (we already met above) wants everyone who has said so apologise publicly.

i am about to make some popcorn, who wants some?

few lifts from HS (Helsingin Sanomat) news feed regarding current nazi scandals and over all political atmosphere in Finland.

#naziJokeGoverment #racism #naziJokePrimeMinister #racismInFinland #nazis #politics #politicsFI

I am happy too that finally the discussion about racism is taken seriously on the mainstream media. For too long it has been mostly on the shoulders of those experiencing and living through it daily, and partly on small % of white antifacist and antiracist activists.

Not so happy about the fact that it took literal fucking nazies in the government before we got here, and some are still clinging on to the “they’re not really, really fascists” imagination even in critic outputs. #racismInFinland

Most journalists have not dived into the social media parts of Basic Finn fascist before these latest scandals. You get a completely different view of them if you only hear about them through mainstream media interviews, i mean the ones published before the summer of 2023.

It is not enough to say “fine, they’re racist” when far right party is attempting a coup inspired by nazi germany.

I am still waiting for the day these fuckers are ACTUALLY challenged when they talk racist shit, spread obvious lies or conspiring theories and not just included in the discussion as “the other side of the matter”.

sure there are two sides, the nazi side & the democratic freedom + human rights side but they’re not equal in any fucking way and should be treated accordingly.

one of these fuckers i cants stand even for a second is the hate speaker of parliament Hall-aho, a literal manifesto publishing nazi guru who is currently taking advantage of the highly respected position of trust to drive his own fascist agenda and buy time for what ever the fuck they are doing.

meanwhile the “value conservatives” parade around the world repeating the same mantras over and over again.

Orpo: racism is taken care of.
SPP: we need to take care of racism.
Purra: i am racist AF.

Currently NCP is shouting far and wide about how “no one else wanted to join us in the government”.

which is false, only the Central party directly declined. SDP and Green League got now indications from NCP to even negotiate.

as some have said, it feels like the government basis was already decided in some form even before the negotiations begun.

it is true that NCP wanted to “clean up the mess Marin left” and it wouldn’t be possible in this magnitude with any other government basis.

their whole election campaign was about “the left ruined finland with their endless partying, we’re doomed without radical economic interference by responsible adults” which is bullshit through and through if you understand anything about politics or state economics or even take into account the fact that we went through a beginning of a global pandemic, massive shutdowns, finance crisis and war in europe during that time with a fully functioning government that handled things when they rose.

now this government formed by “responsible adults” and “economical master minds” is falling from crisis to crisis, has being met with a never before seen resistance (in normally so docile nation), lies in diplomatic missions while driving the whole image of finland down a sever pipe.

thank goddess, these “responsible adults” were not running things during the pandemic. the poor would have died as homeless on streets, others in over stuffed hospitals and the rest would be sick with long-COVID.

and when i say NCPs whole election campaign was about “cleaning up the mess partying leftist children (government of Sanna Marin) left”… i mean exactly that. #naziJokeGovernment #naziJokeNCP #politics #politicsFI

for context, here ja some of the achievements of the government lead by prime minister Sanna Marin.

When i go through these lists i cant help but wonder how in the fuck did they have any time to party in between of all the crises, reforms, fixing mistakes by former governments and so on.

but yeah i am a leftist son of a bitch who believes in basic human dignity, human rights and so on so i assume i can never understand what is it like to be so selfish, that any of that seems like a mistake.

back to the scandals at hand. okay not quite, i want to take a quick dive to a “summer camp” finnish nationalists, etnonationalists and over all nazis of all sort attended _four years_ ago.

then a short lived scandal was about one particular activity they held:

- shooting targets that were (allegedly) pictures of finnish politicians.

what does this have to do with anything?

Well, current and former members of Basic Finns attended. https://yle.fi/a/3-10873479 #naziJokeGovernment

Prime minister Orpo claims he knew nothing about the far right or nazi connections Basic Finns have.

Many sources from years ago confirm that he did not only knew, but also despises that.

20.6.2017 Orpo said: “You should all go see what is being written of people on the homma-forum at this very moment.”

homma-forum is a known far right site.

after that the Basic Finn party has only driven further into the far right. #naziJokePrimeMinister #naziJokeGovernment #hateSpeakerOfParliament
