When I worked for an oil company, I was subject to random drug / alcohol testing. And I understand why… the potential for environmental damage was so significant.
I think an MP is a job that is also worthy of random drug testing. You’ve been given the trust of the public, and should be willing, if requested, to demonstrate that you’ve maintained that trust.
Sanna Marin did not use cocaine and there is no corruption in Finland.
Country falling apart but party in the parlament 💪🥳
I’m all for Yle being the watchdog of those who yield power in our country, but this article is sooo left-field. What is the news that is being reported here, other than the people using the toilets in the house of parliament have been in contact with drugs? A lot of people, who are not elected representatives, visit the house of parliament daily.
Good to see parliamentarians being on the economy drive and doing their drug ridden fact finding missions not merely inside the homeland, in the nearest bathroom.
Maybe time for them to get a private pharmacy in parliament house, with doctors who prescribe medical amphetamines and other drugs to who ever works there and wants them. Like they have in the white house.

They are politicos. Lies and criminality come with the job. Would you be surprised to find drug residue in any corporate business toilet cubicles? I know I wouldn’t after working in the IT business for over 45 years. I’ve seen pills and powders everywhere. I don’t think the Finnish parliament is so different.

No let’s start guessing how much these right-wing politicians have wasted taxpayers’ money on drugs.
At least the Finnish version of the same article says that the test they used is so sensitive it would find traces of drugs even if a person’s clothes got “contaminated” from a seat in public transportation.
Pretty useless article then, in my opinion.
They could sample waste water where the sewer exits the building. That might show something more conclusive.
WTF????
Jauhojengi strikes again
Well now parlament is going to cut Yle funding for sure 😅
I am happy that our parliament members support legalisation, at least in their actions! 😂
“FFS” just test everyone there, and throw the ones playing with our lives out. It is ridiculous to think that Finland has the most registered firearms per capita in the world, in total 10th place on firearms per capita, and still drugs kill 3x more people than gunrelated accidents, and intentional shootings. Even cancers kill only about 37% more people than drugs, maybe next year drugs will catch cancer.
Too bad YLE is not trustworthy
I know you are a country of laws but I also thought you were a country of minding your own business? This is invasive, what is the purpose? What was the outcome? That it was inconclusive because the test is so sensitive that the results…*checking notes* “ the samples do not definitively prove drugs were consumed in the cubicles — but rather that a person who used the facilities had at some point in the recent past been in contact with drugs, whether intentionally or unintentionally”.
How long till this invasion of privacy shows up at your door?
Make sense why they are making so many weird ass decisions from the parliament.
