The Finns Party wrote that the discussion about immigration was positive even when participants were not from the party itself. According to the party, however, the criticism presented by others was not credible if those presenting it had voted against almost every tightening of immigration during the current term. The Finns Party also stated that immigration criticism was not credible if its presenter wanted to bring a large amount of cheap labor into the country. According to the party, such importation of labor undermined Finnish wages and working conditions and did not strengthen public finances. It said the party's position had remained the same before and after the elections. #kotimaakutsuu #siksiPS #perussuomalaiset #maahanmuutto #maahanmuutto #perussuomalaiset #kotimaakutsuu (translated)

Klaus criticized Mäkelä for allegedly preventing the person expressing criticism. Klaus wrote that Mäkelä's public image was based on considering others too sensitive and reminded that he was a member of the Finns Party and the chairman of its parliamentary group, whose statements also represented the party. According to Klaus, the weakening support for the National Coalition Party caused some of the party's regular voters to seek a new political home, and many of them looked towards the Finns Party. He assessed that the childish and clumsy behavior of the party's representatives would drive away voters and believed that the party should acknowledge its previous foolish statements and communicate that it was not proud of them. Klaus stated that Mäkelä's response to the criticism was to dismiss and label the critic, which would not reduce the party's repulsiveness. He questioned why the Finns Party did not take advantage of a situation where many voters were without a party home and assessed that silence would be a better option than an offensive response. #politiikka #Suomi #kansanedustaja (translated)
