Demari: Syrjinnällä ei sijaa hallituspolitiikassa

Posted on April 22, 2011 by Migrant Tales

Comment:An editorial in Demari states that the Social Democratic Party should not form part of a government that supports exclusion and hostility towards   immigrants, refugees and  lowering development aid. The editorial of the daily of the Social Democratic Party is like a whiff of fresh air after the PS scored its historical election victory on Sunday. 

Like all of the traditional political parties in Finland, the Social Democrats have a lot of sensible veteran politicians among their ranks. Didn’t the party play an important role in building Finland’s welfare state?

The Social Democrats are divided along two camps concerning immigration: Eero Heinäluoma-Jutta Urpilainen, the current leadership that brought us maassa maan tavala, and those who disagree. Former foreign minister Erkki Tuomioja belongs to the latter camp. 

Tuomioja is interviewed in a separate article in Demari on his views on the ongoing talks to form government with Kokoomus and PS.

As we know, there are anti-immigration representatives in all Finnish parties but not as many and as outspoken as among the PS. 

Caving in to xenophobia and ultra-conservative values that encourage gender and social inequality in our society is not the path that Finland should take. Fortunately Kokoomus and the Social Democrats are not in favor of building a PS romantic problem-free all-white Finland that never existed and where post-modern art is scorned.

The threat to the PS will not come from abroad but from the political monster that Soini has created.  Feeding that monster will be its simplistic and hostile views of minorities, women and the outside world.

Finland election: True Finns score big but Kokoomus wins

Posted on April 17, 2011 by Migrant Tales

By Enrique Tessieri

The True Finns should thank their historic victory on troubled countries like Greece, Ireland, Portugal as well as those embattled immigrants, refugees and their children that have had to put with the hostility of such parties. Maybe Timo Soini should thank globalization as well and the ever-increasing social inequality in our country for his victory.

When I started this blog in May 2007 I started to write about immigration and prejudice. The first critics that swarmed on my blog were steadfast about one matter: There was no racism or it was only a minor problem in Finland. These bloggers should take a look at Sunday’s result and what it means.

My hunch in 2007 was correct but it does not make me happy. I would have wanted to have been proven wrong: bigotry and far-right populism are an issue in this country.

With 100% of the votes counted here are the final results: Kokoomus (20.4%/44 seats), Social Democrats (19.1%/42), True Finns (19.0%/39), Center Party (15.8%/35), Leftwing Alliance (8.1%/14), Greens (7.2%/10), Swedish People’s Party (4.3%/9), Christian Democrats (4.0%/6), and ÅS  (0.4%/1).

In Finland the party that wins the election forms government. In this case it is Kokoomus.

YLE: Maahanmuutto jakaa edustajaehdokkaita

Posted on March 22, 2011 by Migrant Tales

Comment: Here is an interesting story published by YLE on how immigration is a hot issue in the election. One of the questions (number 5) on the YLE questionnaire to the candidates asks if  “immigration and tax support (to this group) should be tightened?” Those candidates and parties that “totally agreed” with the statement were the True Finns and other anti-immigration parties like Muutos2011 and Vapauspuolue.

The majority of the candidates of Kokoomus and the Center Party were “somewhat in favor” of tightening immigration policy and tax support. The majority (49%) of the Social Democrat candidates, however, were “somewhat of a different opinion.” Fifty-seven percent of the candidates of the Swedish People’s Party were “totally against” tightening immigration policy and tax support.

The majority of the Greens (57%) were “somewhat in favor” of tightening policy and tax support.

One of the big questions we have to ask of those that are asking for stricter controls is what they want to tighten if the present law is already pretty strict?

One candidate from my constituency said that it was ok to lower tax support to immigrants because Finland pays some of the highest support in Europe. The candidate forgot to tell us, however, that if we take cost of living into account such benefits are in line with the European Union average.

The stance and the willingness of some candidates to use the immigrant-bashing card to get votes is a sad reality of Finland today.

Do you agree?

Warkauden Lehti: Halpatyömarkkinat uhkaavat

Posted on January 12, 2011 by Migrant Tales

Comment: This opinion piece in Warkauden Lehti was written by Social Democrat MP Kari Rajamäki. If Wille Rydman is the Halla-aho of the Kokoomus party, Rajamäki is that of the Social Democrats. He would be more than happy to take a very tough stand on immigration.  His message is a simple one: Don’t trust immigrants because they are a threat to Finland. If more come they will forces wages to plunge.

He  has accused African refugees fleeing war as social welfare “shoppers.”

Even though Rajamäki is one of the main mentors behind the controversial “maassa maantavalla,” his anti-immigration scare tactics have not gone down well with voters. The latest polls show the Social Democrats at record-low levels.

Do you agree with Rajamäki that immigration will force wages to plummet in Finland?

________________

Edellisen hallituksen selkeä linjaus Suomessa ja EU:ssa oli, että maahanmuuton määrällinen ja laadullinen hallinta on välttämätöntä työmarkkinoiden vakauden ja sisäisen turvallisuuden näkökulmasta. On ollut surullista nähdä, että nykyisen hallituksen aikana tämä ei ole ollut enää arvo vaan tietoisesti on rakennettu kaksia työmarkkinoita – halpatyömarkkinoita.

Ennakko- ja jälkivalvontaan ei ole riittävästi resursseja. Tuottavuusohjelma vähentää maahanmuuttoviraston, työvoimatoimistojen ja työsuojeluvalvonnan voimavaroja. Vähennykset on toteutettu kaavamaisesti välittämättä seurauksista. Tullin, verottajan, työsuojelun ja keskusrikospoliisin henkilöstöleikkaukset vaarantavat meidän kaikkien arjen turvallisuutta. Mielenkiintoista on keskusrikospoliisin kokemat voimavarojen leikkausuhat juuri tällä ratkaisevalla hetkellä, jolloin myös talousrikostutkinta on ulottunut politiikan ja hallinnon rakenteisiin.

On hämmästyttävää, että sisäministeri ja poliisijohtaja eivät ole joutuneet vastaamaan tästä tilanteesta. Huolestuttavaa suomalaista arkea on, että poliisi lopettaa tutkinnan, vaikka yhteiskunta ja työntekijät menettävä suuria summia. Työsuojelutoimintaa on heikennetty kohtuuttomilla henkilöstövähennyksillä, mikä käytännössä estää tehokkaan työehtojen valvonnan. Tarvitsemme laaja-alaisen myös tulevaisuuteen luotaavan harmaan talouden torjuntaohjelman, jossa määritellään selkeät tavoitteet ja voimavarat viranomaisille, sekä yhteystyömallit työmarkkinajärjestöjen kanssa.

Kovaa linjaa kuvaa se, että Kokoomus ja Keskusta esittävät, että eduskunta vielä ennen vaaleja hyväksyisi työnantajille mahdollisuuden vapaasti tuoda työntekijöitä EU:n ulkopuolelta. Suomeen voisi mikä tahansa yritys tuoda kenet tahansa mille tahansa alalle ja alueelle töihin ilman, että selvitetään onko omassa maassa työttömiä ja koulutettavia kyseisiin tehtäviin. Toteutuessaan se räjäyttäisi työmarkkinoittemme ongelmat.

Lyhytnäköinen, työnantaja-näkökulmaa palveleva sinivihreä maahanmuuttopolitiikka vauhdittaa edelleen pimeän ulkomaisen työvoiman käyttöä, lisää ulkomaisen työvoiman syrjäytymistä ja harmaata taloutta sekä heikentää turvallisuutta ja taloudellisen toiminnan edellytyksiä. Turvallisuuden kannalta on vakava asia, jos ei edes ydinvoimalan rakennustyömaalla välttämättä tiedetä kuka porukkaa hankkii ja kuka haalarin sisällä on.

Verojen ja maksujen laiminlyönti ja työntekijöiden oikeuksien polkemista katsotaan käytännössä sormien läpi. Etenkin rakennus, ravintola- ja kuljetusaloilla ongelma on mittava. Maahanmuuttajavaltaisilla aloilla on kahdet työmarkkinat, joilla maahanmuuttajien oikeuksia poljetaan ja rikotaan laillisia työsuhteiden ehtoja. Käytännön välinpitämättömyydellä ja torjunnan heikentämisellä on halpatyömarkkinat ja suomalaisten työehtojen heikentäminen tietoinen valinta.

Näin on jos sallimme, että kuka tahansa Euroopan talousalueen kansalainen voi perustaa 75 eurolla toiminimen ja teettää töitä alle työehtojen, maksamatta senttiäkään veroja ja maksuja Suomeen.

Vääristyneen kilpailuaseman ohella meillä esiintyy nyt jo selkeästi työorjuuden ja ihmiskaupan piirteitä. Hallituksen kaavailema saatavuusharkinnan poisto kärjistää tilanteen lopullisesti irti käsistä. Tämän vuoksi SDP edellyttää ulkomaisen työvoiman osalta aina kotimaassa olevan työvoiman sekä nuorten työttömien kouluttamisen kautta saatavan työvoiman ensisijaisuutta.

Turvattomuus työelämässä ja suomalaisten työehtojen heikentäminen halpatyömarkkinoiden kautta, ei rakenna sitä kansallista eheyttä, jolla sosiaalisesti oikeudenmukainen uuden Suomen ja talouden jälleenrakennus onnistuu.

Turvallista uutta vuotta!


The real test for Finland’s educational system

Posted on January 4, 2011 by Migrant Tales

By Enrique Tessieri

All of us who have children in Finland are familiar with the high quality of our educational system. Its high standards have been noticed abroad by the 2009 OECD Pisa study, which placed Finland in third place after Shanghai and South Korea.

Irrespective of the high academic achievement of these countries, they are not free from a social ill like racism. Unfortunately the Pisa results don’t measure how well students deal with different cultures.

If some newspaper articles are anything to go by, racism and xenophobia in  China and South Korea are a cause for concern. Even in Finland we have seen such a worrying trend. A good example will be the April elections in Finland and how many politicians will get elected with the help of their anti-immigration and Islamophobic stances.

I personally believe that our high academic standards should save us from populism and xenophobia, or at least keep these social ills in check. One of the cornerstones of our educational system is equality. When we speak of this nobel societal value we mean equality for all people irrespective of their background.

For some parties like the True Finns, Muutos 2011, Vapauspuolue, and for certain representatives of major Finnish parties like the Social Democrats (Kari Rajamäki) and Kokoomus (Wille Rydman), equality does not apply to all members of our society.

If we allow racism and xenophobia to get the best of us in the next parliamentary elections, it will not only end up harming this country’s future but reveal how our educational system has failed.


Arsonists attack Buddhist temple in Finland

Posted on September 12, 2010 by Migrant Tales

The attack by arsonists on Friday of a Buddhist temple in Turku’s Moisio’s district is another worrisome sign of how a deranged group of people can undermine Finland’s good name. If there is any finger-pointing for what happened, it should be at some Finnish politicians who, owing to the April 2011 elections, have fuelled such acts by their populist statements and shameful lack of leadership.

Immigrants who live in Finland and those that will come to work here are being singled out by some opportunist politicians as scapegoats for the country’s economic woes. Social Democrat MP Eero Heinäluoma and MP Kari Rajamäki are good examples of how their anti-immigrant statements spill over into racism.

Heinäluoma, for example, made the incredible remark recently that immigrants will fuel racism because they will take jobs away from Finns.  Rajamäki likes to call asylum-seeker to Finland “refugee shoppers.”

Why haven’t Heinäluoma and Rajamäki condemned acts of racism in Finland forcefully? The answer is disturbingly obvious.

These politicians should not forget SDP’s roots and how the party thanks to Väinö Tanner (1881-1966) played a critical role in not permitting Finnish Jews to be deported to Nazi concentration camps during World War 2.

The vice president of the Vietnamese Buddhist Community in Finland, Ari Vuokko, told Finnish Broadcast Company (YLE) that it wasn’t the first time Buddhist families in this country have been the target of attacks by racists.

Swastika signs had been sprayed on traffic signs near the temple.

“This is shocking and worrisome,” he said. “Do worshippers dare use this temple, can people practice their faith in Finland?”

Finland was recently named by Newsweek as the best country in the world in terms of health, economic dynamism, or openness of its economy and the breadth of its corporate sector, education, political environment, and quality of life.

With attacks of the Buddhist temple serving as a rude reminder of what racism can do to a minority community and society, we should ask Newsweek to include in their survey how open a society is to cultural diversity.

Immigration reveals what Finnish political parties are made of

Posted on September 9, 2010 by Migrant Tales

The political field is pretty lopsided in this country these days: left-wing parties that were “progressive” in their approach to society have now become conservative and those that were on the “right” appear to be more open to the outside world.

If one looks at the recent statements on immigration by Social Democratic Party MP Eero Heinäluoma and  Kokoomus’ Foreign Minister Alexander Stubb one can conclude that the ideological tables have turned quite radically.

Even the Center Party, which has tradictionally been nationalistic and conservative in its view of the outside world, has under the leadership of Prime Minister Mari Kiviniemi become a more middle-of-the-road party.

Even though the Social Democrats have open-minded people such as Liisa Jaakonsaari and Erkki Tuomioja, the anti-immigrant hardliners like MP Kari Rajamäki spoil the day. Rajamäki’s stance on immigrants and refugees is on the same wave length as the True Finns.

Certainly one cannot conclude that all of the members of Kokoomus want to make immigration work for Finland.  Wille Rydman and Kai Pönttinen are sore examples of how  some politicians want to use the immigration card for political gain.

How exploited are immigrants in Finland?

Posted on August 27, 2010 by Migrant Tales

I spoke with an SDP MP recently about how Finland had turned into a two-tier market, where small- and medium-sized companies were allegedly exploiting on a grand scale immigrant employees by overworking and grossly underpaying them.

I asked why there haven’t been any big cases in the media about this type of exploitation and why the SDP is so passionate about the matter before  elections? There has been some news in the media about how some fast-food establishments do underpay and overwork immigrants but it does not suggest a national trend.

An important question that one should ask is how widespread it is and why the authorities have done so little? If it is widespread, it is further proof of how disenfranchised immigrants are in this country.

I say if because I have not seen many cases published in the media only the concern of the Social Democrats, who point the finger accusingly more at immigrants than employers.

Do you know of any cases of immigrants being exploited by employers in Finland?

A disfavor to Finland’s future

Posted on August 18, 2010 by Migrant Tales

With the April 2011 election approaching, parties in Finland are feverishly scrambling on ways to lure voters. One campaign issue that has the ability to move voters and inflame passions is immigration.

One important matter to keep in mind in the ongoing debate on immigration is to understand its parts: immigrants living in Finland, labor immigrants from the EU and elsewhere, and refugees (quota and asylum-seekers). When political parties and their representatives debate immigration, try to find out which of these groups they are talking about.

Which parties are using the immigrant-bashing card to lure votes? Of the one’s that have MPs in parliament, the True Finns are the main culprits. Their party’s position on immigration is pretty clear: xenophobic, ethnocentric and off the wall. Other parties like the Social Democrats aren’t too far off; in all parties you will find people who have anti-immigration stances.

Here are some points that should help you figure out the double-talk and baloney that some parties put out concerning the subject:

(1) We want to do away with multiculturalism (True Finns). Political parties use this term multiculturalism to mean a society with many cultures. When they state that they want to do away with multiculturalism, what do they mean? Kick out all the foreigners in Finland? Kick out the foreigners who are different from us? Close our borders and don’t allow immigrants to move to our country? Ask dark-skinned immigrants to dye their hair and get plastic surgery?

(2) The state should not finance multiculturalism in order to speed integration (Wille Rydman, Kokoomus). This is one of the best examples of double-talk I have seen by a Finnish politician. Rydman is suggesting that we should not allow immigrants to cherish their identity and background since he thinks that this will speed their integration into Finnish society. Rydman should look at studies on the subject that show the total opposite. He should visit Amerindian reservations in the United States that tragically show what consequences ripping a person’s culture and identity have.”

I could go on with a long list of other incredulous affirmations that will knock you on your back.

One important matter to keep in mind: Immigration is a political issue. Some groups, like the True Finns, may place ludicrous expectations of how immigrants are supposed to adapt to our society. The question, however, is if such expectations are realistic.

Having a successful immigration policy requires a long-term perspective so that immigrants may become productive and dynamic members of our society. Being only focused on the 2011 election is doing Finland a disfavor.

Don’t let the “critics” hijack the immigration debate in Finland

Posted on August 1, 2010 by Migrant Tales

We would be in a lot of trouble if the one-sided immigration debate in Finland was left to a certain group of people. Those that I am referring to call themselves “critical of immigration,” maahanmuuttokriittinen. It is a funny term used to describe groups that are in fact hostile to immigration.

More people in Finland are beginning to understand the difference between racism and sensible debate.

One of these is Center Party Prime Minister Mari Kiviniemi. She recently labeled SDP MP and anti-immigration hardliner Eero Heinäluoma’s statements as “flirting with racism.” Naturally Heinäluoma does not consider his statements racist at all. One of the many incredulous affirmations he has made is that immigrants will fuel racism because they will take jobs away from Finns.

The argument is a bit like the man who raped a woman and then claims that it was the victim’s fault because she was wearing a mini skirt.

There are countless of other examples of anti-immigration groups like the True Finns who claim not to be racist but in truth some are. You can find, unfortunately, these types of people in all of Finland’s political parties.

Since ignorance is not an excuse for breaking the law, it should not be one for insulting other ethnic groups. Even so, some of the views that some Finnish politicians have of immigrants and immigration dates back to the murky 1930s.

Even though not everything that is debated can be slammed as racist, it shows how much in diapers the immigration debate is in Finland. Some do not even know the difference (or pretend not to know) between what is appropriate and racist.

I have said on numerous occasions that you do not need to pass new laws for immigrants in Finland. The only thing we have to do is apply those we have in force today.

A good rule of thumb when speaking of immigrants in Finland is to ask if you would ever make such a statement about your own group or voters. If not, stay clear from them.

One of the pet topics of the far-right in Finland is speaking about social security fraud. The only problem with the debate is that the  only culprits  are foreigners. Supposedly Finns are honest and therefore do not take advantage of the social security system.

Why aren’t any politicians making a big deal about social security fraud in general, or among Finns in particular? Because it is a hyper-sensitive political issue. They would not touch it with a ten-foot pole especially with elections approaching in April 2011.

Bashing foreigners and over-exaggerating social security fraud among immigrants brings more votes and political mileage.
