In the Vihreätliitto (Green League), threats have been directed particularly at women and minority representatives.
Threats against politicians have become a common theme, including against Prime Minister Juha Sipilä’s family and against Green MPs. The Southwest Finland District Court has sentenced a man to 70 days of conditional imprisonment for issuing threats against the PM’s family and lawmakers Ozan Yanar and Emma Kari.
According to Left Alliance parliamentary group chairman Aino-Kaisa Pekonen, compared to the previous parliamentary terms, threats have increased significantly.
