Mika Merano announced that he will be a candidate for the Finns Party in the upcoming spring parliamentary elections in the Uusimaa electoral district. He named his main themes as fighting corruption, reforming the use of tax funds, and strengthening the status of the Finnish language and Finnish culture. Merano opposed, among other things, the dual roles of politicians in organizations, political appointments, and directing tax funds to the close circles of politicians. He demanded public impact reports on taxpayer-funded projects and believed that tax funds should benefit Finnish taxpayers. He also opposed development aid, projects that he described as ideological, and unprofitable EU funding requests. In language policy, Merano opposed mandatory Swedish and multiculturalism, which he viewed as narrowing Finnish traditions. He supported a unilingual Finland, conducting business in one's native language, and preserving Finnish cultural heritage. He also suggested that cuts affecting citizens should be made only as a last resort. Merano asked people to spread the word about his candidacy, to join his campaign team, or to support his campaign. He stated that donations would go to the Mika Merano Support Association and would be used entirely for the campaign. According to him, donations could be made via MobilePay to the number 47188 or to the association's account FI19 8146 9710 4278 49. He mentioned that the names of donors contributing at least 1,500 euros would be public. The campaign manager, according to Merano, is marketing professional and Kouvola city councilor Suvi Karell, who coordinates the campaign work. #Suomi #Eduskuntavaalit #Perussuomalaiset (translated)

Tanja Aidanjuuri claimed that the National Coalition Party was in a hurry to present its own proposals, which, according to her, the Finns Party had been talking about from the beginning. She asked Antti Lindtman whether the National Coalition Party should now also be considered "as a non-acceptable racist party." Aidanjuuri wrote that in her opinion, Lindtman's party could not fit into the same government with the Finns Party, but the National Coalition Party ending up on the same line caused, in her assessment, a decrease in the number of Lindtman's supporters. https://t.co/7rEnmQ5SVK #politiikka #Suomi #valtio (translated)

Mika Merano wrote that it was not about class but corruption. He claimed that Members of Parliament, other significant and former politicians, and their close circles received rewards on the boards of associations funded by tax money or directed funds to their own projects.

He accused politicians of pursuing their own and their close circles' interests and expressed his anger towards such activities. #korruptio #politiikka #veronmaksajat (translated)
