The leader of the Freedom Association is seeking from Pro Lahti to the Lahti Council – Pro Lahden Aaltonen: \”It’s a bit like a patrol\”
Founded three years ago, the Freedom Association is divorced from the EU, the euro and NATO.
The main goal of the party is to remove Finland from the EU and the euro. In addition, it opposes Finland’s NATO membership. Nor does it believe in the climate change caused by man.
Pro Lahti is a group of non -party -political units with three delegates during the term of the term. Each candidate has its own electoral association.
According to Niko A. Kauko, the rules of the Freedom Association prevent the candidate of the other party, but Pro Lahti is not a party.
– Pro Lahti focuses solely on municipal policy, Lahti, while the Freedom of Freedom in Finland is more broadly. They are both political tools that Finns can use as a platform to improve society, but there is no cooperation between them, Kauko says.
As his other Pro Lahti candidates, he declares his opposition to the sale of Lahti Energy.
His activities as a party activity of the Freedom Association have not been revealed on the Pro Lahti website.
– I don’t think it is. Pro Lahti is a different tool for politics than the Freedom Association, it is a municipal policy, says Kauko.
In the interview, Kauko says he will remain in the Pro Lahti council group if he is elected to the council.
Pro Lahti is open to different party members
– People can belong to our parties. It is enough that they are committed to the values \u200b\u200bof Pro Lahti.
Kalle Aaltonen cannot say whether there are equal values \u200b\u200bin the Freedom Association and Pro Lahti.
– I am not familiar with the values \u200b\u200bof the Association of Freedom or other marginal parties.
Aaltonen does not consider the Union of Freedom to be a significant influence. He points out that the city council does not deal with national matters.
– They don’t even affect anywhere. It’s a bit like a patrol.
Aaltonen believes that much more problematic for the voter is the KD, the Center and the Movement Nyt’s election coalition.
Miss trade relations with Russia
Niko A. Kauko brings out his political thoughts on his You Tube channel and message service X. He presents himself as an independence man and a supporter of neutrality policy.
In his view, municipalities are in the path of misery because the state pursues the wrong policy. In his view, the situation is corrected by the change in the direction of state politics by leaving the EU.
Niko A. Kauko writes in his blog under the parliamentary elections in 2023:
*“Finland only plays the role of a lump and payer in the EU, which is basically a major power project in Europe, where its small Member States are openly exploited.”*
*“When the EU has forced us to break our vital trade relationship with Russia, only Finland remains a shadow of the splendor of our former welfare state, meaning that our destiny is to be a declining, indebted, impoverished and insignificant Nordic bag.”*
Members of the RKP and Freedom Association on the same list
The non -attached Pro Lahti agreed for Tapiola, as the RKP list was already full due to the election coalition agreed with the Coalition Party.
– The RKP had only three candidates and it was natural to have long -term party activists, Tapiola explains.
According to Tapiola, Pro Lahti has the freedom to think and vote in his own liking. However, all Pro Lahti candidates are committed to maintaining Lahti Energia completely owned by the city.
Tapiola also promises to stay in the Pro Lahti group if selected.
– Of course, we are in the same group that has been chosen with different thoughts. It’s just healthy to have a variety of thoughts.
Tapiola hears from the reporter that he is also on the same list with the party activist of the EU Freedom Association. The RKP and the Freedom Association have very few common goals.
– I don’t know him or his party. It can be quite lonely in this regard, says Tapiola when he hears what kind of things to drive in his party.
However, he points out that the EU is not decided by the City Council.
-In this respect, I do not consider differences of opinion, says Tapiola.
