Petra Nyqvist criticized Wille Rydman's desire to abandon the maternity package. According to her, Rydman justified his stance by saying that in his family, they bought used, high-quality baby clothes. Nyqvist found the idea elitist and argued that it did not take into account all starting situations. Nyqvist wrote that the cardboard box bed was still necessary because some mothers started in situations where they had nothing. She added that sometimes young girls had been led into this situation without the child's father taking responsibility, describing it as grooming. According to Nyqvist, Rydman criticized the new Chinese ball, even though his own government wanted it. She believed that the acquisition method of Kela should be changed if it did not favor domestic products. Nyqvist defended the maternity package as a concept admired worldwide and stated that she wanted to participate in its funding through her taxes, even though she had no children. In her opinion, it would help young people cope with the challenges of baby life even when there was no support network. #äitiyspakkaus #vauvahuoltaja #perhe (translated)
