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.

2/2 Why is it good news?
Well, the #conservative #FarRight government have 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.

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 has 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.

3/3 And yes, I, again, will share articles about this in English and Swedish when there is some to share.
It is very likely, that articles in Swedish will be released already during tonite, but with the English versions it might take until tomorrow, because #YleNews works office hours.

2/X That #WilleRydman who then came out with a #ConsipiracyTheory that the foreign #media is steered by some Finnish professors and scientist who plant negative articles about our new #conservative #FarRight government in them.
Well, our biggest newspaper, #HelsinginSanoma,t has just published an article about #Rydman's messages to his then girlfriend, that are very racist and antisemitistic, and in which he says, he is a #nazi.

Hello World!
It's #Finland calling, again, and again about our new #conservative #FarRight government.
Remember #WilleRydman?
The former #NationalCoalitionParty MP who a year ago got caught from harassment and grooming, was then forced to leave #NCP, and joined #TheFinnsParty?
Whom #TheFinns appointed as the replacer of the #nazi minister Vilhelm #Junnila.
...continuing...

Dear German media & people of #Germany!
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!

The president of the United States, Joe Biden is on a visit in Finland.
Same time in the United States:
Media reports about the racism in the government of Finland.

4/X #TheGuardian has written about Riikka #Purra's racist and violent writings:
"Finnish far-right finance minister accused of #racist online comments"
So has #Politico:
"New bigotry scandal envelopes #Finland’s brand new government"
We thank you!
And other media around the Globe:
Please do cover our government of horrors! It is one of the most effective ways to get rid of it.

7/7 A new scandal hits the new government of #Finland.
The magnfier is on minister, the party leader of #TheFinns, Riikka Purra and her comments on the former party leader's Jussi #Hallaaho's racist #Scripta blog.
It's terribly #racist language, slurs and fantasizing about violent acts to POC.
Yle's article in English:
Euronews:
And yes, #Purra, too, is #TheGreatReplacement -believer.

3/X Now Svenska Yle, the Sweadish editing office of The Finnish Broadcasting companyt has made an article about the matter.
It might be, that their English editing office will not do it until tomorrow; I have a feeling, that they don't work 24-7.
Men här du kan läsa om saken på svenska:

#Purra was in her 30's then. So she wasn't a defiant teenager.
Nope. She was grown up person doing her PhD (that she hasn't finished even by now).
Some of these writing _peaked_ a bit in t he news on February. But it didn't got big, then.
Not even if the parliament elections was on their way.
Now, when she is the minister of finance the Finnish #media makes the matter bigger.
Only now...

On the news today about the #conservative #FarRight government of #Finland.
#TheFinns party leader, minister Riikka #Purra has written the former party leader Jussi #Hallaaho s racistical #Scripta blog a lot in 2008.
Extremely #racist language w n-word etc. Fantasizing about spitting on POC people, beating their children and shooting them in the local train.
Our Swedish and English media haven't yet made articles, I'll share when they do.

So, the speaker of the house ( = puhemies in Finnish) in the Parliament of #Finland - or as we call him: Hate speech man ( = #vihapuhemies) is running for #president next January.
Jussi #Hallaaho, #TheFinns Party, is a multi-convicted racist.
A man, who was praised by #Breivik in his manifesto.
Will he be elected?
No.
Does he has a chance for the 2nd round? That is possible, but not likely.
He can get + / - 20 % of the votes in the first round.

David Mac Dougall, a Scottish journalist who has lived in #Finland for years, writes how we're sleepwalking into #Orbanism.
"It needs a strong prime minister - Petteri #Orpo has been shockingly mute in the last two weeks - who can control his party, his MPs and his staff, who respects #journalists and #academics and #experts and stands up for freedom of the #press"

1/2 Our government made it to #Vice, too.
"#Nazi Jokes and #KKK References Leave Europe’s Newest Government In Chaos"
“It seems that many people in #Finland have had a naïve image of #TheFinns Party and their ideological connections to the #FarRight #extremist ideas,” said Löf. “Some people have seen them as a softer version of the radical right-wing parties in Europe, an illusion which is now quickly being shattered.”

6/6 This IRL satire nightmare just had yet another episode.
The replacer for #nazi-connected minister #Junnila.is a former #NCP-member, nowadays a member of #TheFinns Wille #Rydman ->
The reason he changed the party, is, that the #media exposed his long history of #grooming a year ago ->
And yes, he, too is a #TheGreatReplacement -believer.
This is just an absolute shite show!

World - Hide your daughters!
The #conservative - far right government of #Finland has named the replacer for #nazi-connected Vilhem Junnila.
He is a former #NCP-member, nowadays a member of #TheFinns Wille #Rydman ->
The reason he changed the party, is, that the #media exposed his long history of #grooming ->
And yes, he, too is a #TheGreatReplacement -believer.
This is just an absolute shite show!
#conservative #farright #finland #ncp #thefinns #rydman #media #grooming #thegreatreplacement #finpol #politics #nazi
@bhasic @DemocritusDiscoBall ...and was named the way, that the prime minister Petteri Orpo read about it in the news; #TheFinns didn't tell him about it first.
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.
Our government is a shite show.
5/X And this is also all about #journalism and freedom of the #press.
Already we've seen an episode in which the MP's from #TheFinns -party and #TheCoalitionParty harassed a young #journalist for days, because she wrote a critical column about the Finns party, and, for instance, their will to narrow free media.
The harassment was so bad, that even #IPI condemned it with strong words.
