Former lawmaker and National Social Insurance Institution Director General Liisa Hyssälä of the Centre Party at a press conference in parliament remembered the former parliamentary comrades, celebrated their 30 years in the legislature, and presented each of them with gifts.
 
The trio were elected as members of parliament for the first time in 1983 and started their careers as lawmakers in early April the same year. 
 
Rajamäki and Sasi have been sitting in parliament since then without any break. Anttila, however, was elected a member of European Parliament in 1996 and returned to Finnish parliament in 1999. 
 
 
All the three lawmakers had worked as ministers and then returned to parliament.
