HS-Gallup | The majority of Finns estimate that interest rate restrictions have treated different professional and human groups unfairly

Majority Finns believe that the restrictions imposed during the corona epidemic have treated various professional and human groups unfairly.

Restrictions are considered unfair by 64 per cent and fair by 19 per cent, according to a recent HS poll. 17% of the respondents could not express their position.

On the side of injustice, there was a clearer increase in the number of people, especially those aged 40–59, managers and senior staff, as well as students.

The responses also reflected political opinions. More than half of those who read themselves to the political left, or 55 per cent, consider the treatment unfair, but the right thinks even more, almost 80 per cent.

The difference according to party support is clear: 80 per cent of the supporters of basic Finns consider the restrictions unfair, but only half of the supporters of the SDP.

Interest rate restrictions fairness has not been measured in the HS poll before. Instead, satisfaction with the Prime Minister Sanna Marinin (sd) activities in matters related to the coronavirus were now asked of the people for the ninth time.

The majority of Finns, 56 per cent, are still satisfied with Marin’s corona measures. There was a three percentage point increase in satisfaction compared to the December survey.

December survey was made shortly after it became apparent that Marin continued his evening at the nightclub, even though he had heard he had been exposed to the coronavirus.

In the early part of the year, the government’s corona measures have changed rapidly and their leadership has been lost in some places.

A new coronation ministerial working group was set up to improve the cross-administrative approach. The group was headed by the Minister of Family and Basic Services Krista Kiuru (sd), but at times the leadership also required a prime minister who didn’t want it.

Left-wing parties support for Marin has been strong throughout the pandemic.

The prime minister’s popularity is waning, according to Kantar TNS’s research director Sakari Nurmelan According to him, this was due to the fact that Marin’s work, which had previously praised Marin’s work, and some basic Finns are now more critical of him.

Still, more than one in three Coalition members still said they were at least fairly satisfied with the prime minister’s corona measures.

Close Marin’s popularity in treating the pandemic is reaching the Minister of Education Li Andersson (left) and the Minister of Justice Anna-Maja Henriksson (r), whose scores – especially Andersson’s – have also risen since the fall.

Central Economy Minister Mika Lintilä and the Minister of Science and Culture Antti Kurvinen remain less popular. The number of those dissatisfied with Kurvinen’s coronary actions has increased since the autumn.

Instead, Kiuru, who was on parental leave just before the poll, was valued more in a recent poll than last fall, even though he pulled a strict line of restriction on the board until the end.

To the HS poll The question of the appropriateness of the timing of the lifting of restaurant restrictions shows that citizens’ views on the subject vary, as do ministers.

The matter was asked: “The government has decided to lift restaurant restrictions as of March 1 and recommends regional government agencies to waive assembly restrictions. Do you think that the restrictions have been lifted too late, too early or is it timely? ”

36 per cent were in favor of timeliness, but 23 per cent thought the restrictions would be lifted too early and 27 per cent too late. 14 percent said they had no opinion.

“In any population group, any of these views have a place,” Nurmela sums up the small differences in emphasis based on the respondents’ background.

Citizens the magnitude of the corona concern, on the other hand, seems to be quite affected by both gender and age.

The question was asked, “How much is the coronavirus worrying you at the moment?”

Anxiety has somewhat diminished, but one in two Finns is still at least somewhat concerned about the coronavirus. 43% of men and 57% of women are concerned. Only a third of those up to the age of 30 are worried, but more than 60 per cent of those over the age of 60 are worried.

According to party support, basic Finns are the least concerned about the corona pandemic. Less than a third of them are worried about it.

Early year has reduced citizens’ interest rates by 14 percentage points compared to December.

The concern has now been measured in nine. Six times, citizens have been more concerned about the virus than they are now. Concerns have been less pronounced twice: last autumn and at the beginning of the epidemic, in early 2020.
