Wow! I knew there was a lot of controversy linked to the new govt there, but now I really understand why. Those comments are abhorrent and someone seemingly that unhinged should not have any positions of power.
- President Niinistö even had to comment (the SECOND time within a month) that the government has to set zero tolerance for racism.
