Dear #journalists around the World!
Here in #Finland many of us are grateful about your articles of our new #conservative - far right government.
It was because of the pressure of your articles that finally drove the #nazi-connected The Minister for Economic Affairs Vilhem #Junnila to resign.
But there's more!
And if you do report about the events and about the new ministers, mainly in the #FarRight party #TheFinns, it would make a difference.
2/X Some of you have already mentioned in your articles that the Minister of the Interior Mari #Rantanen has often written about #TheGreatReplacement, but she's not the only one.
Three other ministers of the #FarRight party #TheFinns has done the same; they've talked about it in social media, in media, even in our parliament!
The articles here are, naturally, in Finnish, but maybe they could help you anyway.
3/X Minister of Finance Riikka #Purra, the leader of #TheFinns party, has talked about #TheGreatReplacement often during the years:

Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Ville #Tavio has talked about it for years, even in our parliament!

Minister of Justice Leena #Meri talked about this #ConspiracyTheory in Yle's A-studio program in February:
4/X So as you can see these are not individual cases, this is mainstream thinking in #TheFinns party.
Neverthless, the prime minister Petteri #Orpo does not see no problem what so ever in having this kind of a party in our government.
Orpo has already mentioned, that the coverage about minister #Junnila was a reason that he finally changed his mind about him, so it really matters what you do.
You are the people that can save #Finland!
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 the #NationalCoalitionParty, #NCP, 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.
6/X 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!
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.

Euronews:
And yes, #Purra, too, is #TheGreatReplacement -believer.
