I hope people would start giving the current government an opportunity to do what they were elected to do. But i suspect the opposition demands more, in undemocratic move to gain the chance of forming a new government.
“I apologise for my stupid social media comments 15 years ago and for the harm and resentment that they understandably caused. I’m not a perfect person, I’ve made mistakes,” Purra tweeted.
“Taken out of context and evaluated in the present moment, some texts look even worse. I do not accept any kind of violence, racism or discrimination. Those who know my way of working and my values know that,” she continued.
“The government program of the four parties emphasizes the primacy and importance of human rights, non-discrimination and other basic values. That’s the way it should be.”
The Finns Party leader previously acknowledged that she likely posted thousands of comments in the past, but suggested they were no longer valid, 15 years on.
This somehow gives an even worse picture of her. Yesterday she was adamant that she won’t apologize or comment on what she may or may not have written a long time ago.
Now that she apologizes for exactly that, when the pressure has increased, she indicates that she is only apologizing to make the thing go away, not because she has changed her views.
