Co-chairing the Finn organization calls for the removal of the “perversion” from schools: “Stop madness”

The Finnish organization (Perussuomalaiset) published its election programme for the upcoming regional and local elections to be held in April, demanding that what it calls "perversion" be removed from schools.

Although the paper does not specify precisely what is under this term, the leader of the group, and at the same time Minister of Finance Riikka Purra, explained that the organization is opposed to education on polysexuality, transgenderity, and broadly understood "woke ideology".

One of the main slogans of the Finn organization run is "Stop Madness". Purra mentioned respective examples of phenomena that the group wants to limit in schools specified as teaching about the existence of many genders; discussions on transgender men giving birth to children; ideological restrictions on freedom of speech; elimination of conventional cultural elements specified as carols and board games.

“This is not a trifle. Especially erstwhile the indoctrination we argue is aimed at children and young people" – stressed Purra.

The organization calls for schools to focus solely on the learning of basic subjects, alternatively than on social subjects that it believes are a threat to children's education.

In addition to educational issues, the Finnish Party's electoral programme besides focuses on economical problems and public security. According to Purra, it is essential to spend public money more carefully to guarantee the best usage of citizens' taxes.

"We request to be more careful about what we spend valuable taxpayers' money on and what we can accomplish thanks to them," said the organization leader.

On safety issues, Purra pointed out that problems vary from region to region, which means that strategies request to be tailored to local needs.

The Finnish organization has been moving a tough anti-immigration policy for years and besides highlights the negative impact of abroad influx on the educational system. The electoral programme suggests that immigration contributes to:

– worsening of academic performance,

– expanding educational problems in schools,

– limits teaching opportunities for Finnish children.

The group so proposes to reduce the incentives for "weak immigration", that is, the reception of people who, according to the party, do not integrate into society and do not benefit the economy of Finland.

Finnish organization – Grouping profile

The Finnish organization (Perussuomalaiset, PS) is simply a national-conservative political group in Finland, founded in 1995 as a successor to the Finnish agrarian Party. The party's name was called the Real Finns, it stands out for its Euroscepticism, its firm approach to immigration and its conservative social view. Its representatives frequently criticise the European Union's policy and call for restrictions on admission, especially from outside Western countries.

In fresh years the Finnish organization has strengthened its position on the political phase of Finland, gaining 20% support in the 2023 parliamentary election, giving it 46 seats in the 200-man Eduscint, lower home of Parliament. A fewer months later, PS joined the ruling coalition, and its leader Riikka Purra took the position of Minister of Finance. The group besides has strong influence in local policy, where it focuses on reducing public spending, strengthening safety and protecting "traditional Finnish values".
