Municipal policy Internal Finns’ internal conflicts have escalated in Uusimaa into segregation and even fist fighting

Municipal elections more than four months have passed, and the internal conflicts of the basic Finns have begun to appear in various municipalities.

The most topical situation is in Kirkkonummi, where the municipal councilor Jukka Ylikoski and two deputy commissioners Alexander Polkko and Mikko Elfving has resigned from the party. The trio is setting up their own Kirnu group on the council.

There have been indications of poor distances between basic Finns in Kirkkonummi even before the elections, but at the council seminar in early October, conflicts had been resolved in a fist fight.

Basic Finns chairman of the council group and district secretary of the Uusimaa district Piia Aallonharja confirms that three people were involved in the event and that a person who had since resigned from the party was also present. The police patrol did not have to be called to the Clarion Hotel in Vantaa because of the melee.

“This incident has been investigated afterwards in accordance with party rules, penalties have been distributed and the participants have beaten their hands. The punishment has been warnings and temporary dismissal. ”

Aallonharja does not tell the details of the events, but HS has received confirmation that the events began with an overrun that led to a fist fight.

Kirkkonummi the local association will have an extraordinary general assembly on saturday, where a new chairman will be elected to replace the resigned polko and the board will be supplemented. Ylikoski was the Deputy Chairman of the Board.

What makes Kirkkonummi interesting is that the party chairman Riikka Purra sitting in the municipal council. He has stayed away from local controversies, said To Polko Ilta-Sanomat. According to Aallonharja, the chairman has also stayed away from disputes.

In many municipalities, the contradictions of local associations have escalated from disappointments, as no seats of trust on boards or other bodies have emerged since the election.

“Kirkkonummi is hardly dissatisfied because the divorced have a total of ten shop stewards and they plan to stick to them,” says Aallonharja.

As a sideline in the disputes of basic Finns, there is a Member of Parliament expelled from the party Ano Turtiainen new party association activities. Turtiainen’s Power to the People (VKK) was marked as a party in September.

VKK’s local associations have already been established in Helsinki, Espoo, Lappeenranta, Keminmaa and Kuopio. According to the party office, local associations are being established in nine localities, including Vantaa and Nurmijärvi.

In Espoo the founder of the local association registered a messaging service on Twitter Helena Michiko Tanaka, who was still nominated as the party secretary of the basic Finns at the August party meeting in Seinäjoki.

Espoo councilor and former party secretary of basic Finns Simo Grönroos does not believe that there will be a resignation of people from the current council group to the VKK.

“The situation has calmed down since the spring.”

In spring the party government of basic Finns separated Espoo from the entire trio of parties due to, among other things, the ambiguity of the nomination of candidates.

Dismissed former vice president Cia Grönberg has been elected President of VKK Espoo, Secretary Helena Tanaka and a candidate for basic Finnish municipal elections Markku Hanhineva Vice-Chair.

In Vantaa The news of the establishment of the VKK local association has not been raised by the chairman of the council group Niilo Kärjen (ps) to the ears.

Niilo Kärke and Vice Chairman of the Council Group Kai-Ari Lundellia has been criticized on social media throughout the autumn for arbitrary take on, among other things, the distribution of positions of trust.

“Those places went according to the party’s recommendations based on the number of votes and expertise.”

Also the council group’s October cruise payment arrangements have sparked resentment between the local association and the council group.

The support of the current vice-president of the association has been gathered from the membership Peter Lammenrannan to be chaired Tomi Salinin instead of. HS did not reach Salin for an interview.

In Kärje’s opinion, it is only fair that before the autumn meeting, members know the candidate for the chair.

“We would have such big issues in the council that need to be addressed. There should be time to get together with the new delegates and focus on budget issues, for example, ”says Kärki.

Own his episode was with a recent Vantaa commissioner Milad “Slim Mill” Dehghanin separation from the party. The party government fired Dehghan, the presenter of the sub-style and party-level Leveli podcast, and Nico Giansantin at the end of August.

Giansanti was the deputy commissioner of the basic Finns, but now he has been elected chairman of the VKK in Helsinki.
