Puhemies Maria Lohelan kauheimmat sitaatit: Onko hän sittenkin vain mörkö?
Yksi asia on selvää jos lukee puhemiehen ja entisen perussuomalaisen nykyinen sinisten kansanedustajan Maria Lohelan, kirjoituksia 2010-2016: ne ruokkivat vihaa maahanmuuttajia kohtaan ja vähemmistöjen vastakkainasettelua. Lohelan on politiikko, joka vihaa ja kysenlaistaa erilaisuutta yleistämällä ja ruokkimalla ennakkoluuloja.

A campaign for gender equality by Naisjäjestöt NJKL is an excellent example of white privilege and denial. In the tweet below, we know that Elisabeth Rehn and former Helsiniki Bishop Irja Askola have spoken out against racism and hate speech. However, on the top right hand of the picture we find Blue Reform* (New Perussuomalaiset) MP Maria Lohela, who made her political career by spreading Islamophobia and hatred towards migrants.

”On naiivia kuvitella, että hyvin erilaisesta kulttuurista tuleva henkilö rajan ylitettyään omaksuu suomalaisen yhteiskunnan arvot ja käytöskoodin. Suomalainen maan tapa ei ole kaikkien mielestä maailman paras. Joku toinen pitää irakilaista, venäläistä tai kiinalaista tapaa kaikkein parhaana.”

Perussuomalaiset (PS)* chairman Timo Soini announced after being at the helm of the anti-immigration party for twenty years that he’ll step down as chairman in June. The narrative and the way that some newspapers and politicians are picturing Soini is a good example of Finland’s denial of racism.

Anti-immigration party Perussuomalaiset (PS)* speaker of parliament, Maria Lohela, states in an interview in Helsingin Sanomat that the jobless rate among some migrant groups is many times higher than the national average.

Speaking to MPs at the opening of parliament’s spring term, President Sauli Niinistö didn’t surprise a lot of people by stating that the amount of asylum seekers coming to Europe are putting under threat our values, reports YLE News. He even went as far as to suggest that if the Geneva Conventions were written today they’d be stricter.

Suomen henkinen alamäki jatkuu. Uuden istuntokauden aluksi eduskunta valitsi jälleen rasistisen ja yhtäläistä ihmisarvoa kunnioittamattoman henkilön puhemieheksi. Valtakunnan toiseksi arvokkaimmassa virassa on henkilö, joka on vaaleissa ja niiden jälkeen käyttänyt erittäin kyseenalaisia kampanjakeinoja ja osoittanut omaavansa hyvin rajoittuneen ja sivistymättömän maailmankuvan. Lohela pyrkii selkeästi kiistämään uskonnonvapauden maassamme ja kehottaa muslimeita pysymään omissa maissaan. Tämä on

Some may ask why Islamophobia and racism have raised their ugly heads in Finland. Let’s take Persussuomalaiset MP and the recently elected speaker of parliament, Maria Lohela, as an example. By writing Islamophobic and racist opinion pieces Lohela not only ended up being elected twice to parliament but now has as the speaker of parliament at her disposal a 140,000-euro Audi with driver included.

Perussuomalaiset (PS)* Maria Lohela got elected Friday as speaker of parliament. Lohela is no ordinary MP but one who doesn’t believe in religious freedom, migrant and homosexual rights.

Minua, kuten varmasti montaa muutakin politiikkaa seuraavaa on hämmentänyt mediassa esiin noussut Perussuomalaisten Maria Lohelan blogikirjoitus “Ovatko muslimit sittenkin vain mörköjä?”. Blogikirjoituksessa Lohela on erittäin huolissaan islamtaustaisten maahanmuuttajien asumisesta Suomessa. Islamtaustaisten humanitäärinen maahanmuutto on hänen mukaansa jo nyt ja tulevaisuudessakin sellainen asia, joka on suurimpia tätä maata koettelevia haasteita, ellei jopa ongelma. Perusteluksi Lohela mainitsee islamuskoisten “ahdasmieliset näkemykset elämästä”sekä aikamoisen kirjon erilaisia uhkakuvia ja pelkoja muslimien lisääntymisestä ja sen seuraamuksista. Pitänee vielä mainita, että kyseinen henkilö valittiin hiljattain eduskunnan puhemieheksi.

We saw a lot of white Finnish privilege during the April parliamentary elections and government talks, which include the anti-immigration Perussuomalaiset (PS)* party. If lowly things like turncoat politics and chicanery, racism and white Finnish privilege would have a smell, that stench would knock you off your feet right now. The new speaker of parliament,

When big mainstream parties play along with populist and anti-immigration parties like the Perussuomalaiset (PS)*, which base their campaign on one part hot air and two parts xenophobia and nationalism, you get the government we have today and a speaker of parliament called Maria Lohela.
