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
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
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.
More critical output in the media. #downWithTheNaziGovernment #naziJokeGovernment #naziJokeMinister #NaziJokePrimeMinister
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.
Yle estimated that there was around 200 people in total today at Joensuu in or watching the protest so i will not trust my math skills any more than i have.
fuck nazies. 🖕
Pettymys hallitusta kohtaan sai parikymppiset joensuulaiset järjestämään mielenosoituksen. Tavoitteena on saada koko Suomi huomaamaan, että turhautuneisuuden kanssa ei kukaan ole yksin.

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.
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?

In the meantime you may read/listen to Sanna Marin.
“I don’t understand why we politicians have to tip toe around or pretend that these things and speeches aren’t real. Likke those things were never even said. You must be so politically correct, that you can’t say out loud if a BF parliament politician helds a speech that is openly and genuinely racist, you can’t even say that (it’s racist) outloud. -Sanna Marin in January 2023.

link to thread by Tero Toivanen. Ecofascism, climate change denialism and Finnish government.
Not only are 7 of our current ministers straight up fascist nazies, they’re also conspiracy theorists, and are in charge of ministries that they despise.
For example Lulu Ranne, a climate change denialist is in charge of ministry of transportation and communications. 👇
Position paper by the chair members of antiracist Fem-R, that is operated by and to amplify racialised voices within Finnish society.

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

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
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.
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.
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
Ofc there is only so much one can expect from a member of a parliament party whose big campaign of the century is:
Heart is on the right! 💙
(extra points for that one election campaign advertisement where they brag about enabling the best possible school system (that they’ve been tearing down for the last 10 years or so.)) #naziJokePrimeMinister
Do you know the situation when you’re sitting (hehe) on a toilet and you’re kinda in a hurry to get to some other more urgent business, but no matter how many times you wipe, there’s always shit on the paper? Obviously it’s so because shit doesn’t stop with wiping but with defecating it all.
idk, this kinda reminded me of some government *somewhere*.
okay back to the regular program now.
#fucknaziscum
the leading four ministers have met today for another “serious conversation”.
SPP had a closed meeting after that with its own parliament group and they’ve discussed about continuing in the government.
next antigovernment protest i know of is on Wednesday next week.
will the government live to see that?
#naziJokeGovernment #naziJokeMinister #naziJokePrimeMinister #politicsFI #politics
In some media the blame for the whole government crisis is tried to shift on SDP, largest opposition party.
Orpo claims they “refused to negotiate” when in fact it was Orpo who refused to do so in hope for the furthest in to the right leaning government program of finnish history.
Matias Mäkynen (SDP), cleans the floors with Orpos accusations. #naziJokeGovernment
https://www.facebook.com/100063837095111/posts/pfbid02sotjByV8FzGwpenYdpDfr6MCpu1ArzGvbKat3YmHEaVnFqVBePu569veUL9YxYWGl/?app=fbl
Minister Rydman lies on Yles radio program that “false accusations” against government are being spread in manner of putinist propaganda by “some domestic operators”.
He also said “for crying out loud, some old internet writings are not a reason to summon the parliament”. All while representative of opposition are worried about speaker Halla-Aho actively suppressing democratic rights of the opposition and of the ongoing reputation damage government has caused on Finland. #naziJokeGovernment
He also said happily, that “the government program must be pretty good since the only thing circling the news is about these false accusations”.
Which is what some of us, who will be grind to dust with it, have been worrying about.
While it is extremely important to weed out literal nazis, it should not be forgotten that the whole government program is filled with, reinforced structural racism, fascism, human right violations and unnecessary and cruel defunding of welfare state. #politicsFI
Every single one of those parties in the government and especially their chairmen have agreed to go with that government program.
EVERY SINGLE ONE.
Even SPP who is usually seen as liberal only has problems with the Basic Finn racism and how that effects the government.
The program that will leave people homeless, hungry, without healthcare and subscription medications, while making the already difficult position of immigrants even more difficult, is completely fine with them. #politicsFI
@prettyhuman oh yeah definitely.
it’s not about the people, its about having and using power.
”it’s not a big deal” says another Basic Finn fascist and child groomer, while liberal assholes dance by their bells and have an illusion of power over these fuckers who will miss-use any opportunity given to them.
and now the bigger asshole of them all has given them the government and the parliament. bravo to Orpo, fascist companion of the century. #naziJokeGovernment #naziJokePrimeMinister #NaziJokeNCP #hateSpeakerOfParliament
“If one has to see something good coming out of this catastrophe, at least now the general public has begun to realise that the far right & economic right need each others and live off each other. And even if there can be some friction in some value questions, they can always agree to cooperate on trampling the rights of working class. As they always have.”

above a recommended read to ANYONE EVERYWHERE. 👆
the goal of the right is ALWAYS to repress any and all rights a human can have to gain their own goals. they may have different reasons to do so (economic or fascist) but it all always ends in totalitarianism that crushes the sick, poor & minorities as well as the working class and ecosystems with a iron fist.
the economic right isn’t working with the far right because they “have to”, they’re doing so because the WANT TO. #naziJokeGovernment
#Orpo valehtelee. #MatiasMäkynen:
"SDP:n julki lausutut kynnyskysymykset olivat aitoja, mutta eivät kohtuuttomia.
Kyllä: Sopeuttaa olisi voinut myös veroilla. Jos Suomen veroaste olisi vuoden 2016 tasolla, olisi julkinen talous tasapainossa ilman, että köyhimmiltä leikattaisiin senttiäkään.
Itsekin tunnusteluihin osallistuneena tiedän, että #SDP on ollut koko ajan valmis neuvottelemaan #hallitusohjelma'sta."
