Halfway through the article and you would have already turned me off from ever moving to Finland (not that I was). Hell, I might even consider striking Finland off as a holiday destination all together. This is straight up discrimination, can't put lipstick on a pig.
If this was done by like an opposition party to drum up support by playing the nationalist card, I would still be able to understand, but for the government to even propose it, it just doesn't sit well with me. What is the definition of speaking Finnish well enough and this reeks of migrant exploitation given that the unpopular and lower income jobs would most probably be filled by foreigners who might not be as educated. They pay their taxes and only to be discarded by the government when their usefulness is up....Omg, this makes my blood boil!
The current government is struggling. The second major coalition member party (nationalist party - Essentially One Nation) is openly racist. People voted them in though....
Yes. And, I don't think it will pass constitutional testing. It is a target campaign though to drum up support anti anti-immigration sentiment. It is like marketing, where they create an advert they know will not get aired because it won't pass the advertising board, but it will get publicity because of that.
I read that the nationalists are making a strong comeback in Europe, several years after the Americans. What is the world coming if everyone starts closing boundaries and putting up walls? All it needs is a little spark and it the powder keg will explode......
This is why I don't follow politics anymore. Too much drama and not enough work getting done for the masses.
