Vornanen made a special apology – He didn’t apologize for the act itself – 2024-05-05 18:40:59

In episode number 137 of the Politiikan puskaradio podcast, we talk about the person who was dismissed from the parliamentary group of Basic Finns on Thursday Timo from Vornase54, who until a week ago was an unknown police member of parliament.

Now Vornanen is a police member of parliament known to the whole nation, who has allegedly pointed a gun at people in front of a nightclub in the center of Helsinki – and fired one shot into the ground.

Iltalehti’s politics editor Marko-Oskari Lehtonen, Mika Koskinen mixed Juha Ristamäki pondered the week’s biggest news from many different angles for an hour.

Vornanen got his name into the history books by breaking the legacy of Juva, who was expelled from the group of basic Finns in the last election period Ano Turtiainen in a record 21 days. Turtiainen was a member of the group for 414 days, Vornanen for 393. This is also a record.

In the studio, we consider, among other things, why the chairman of the Basic Finns Riikka Purralla it took so long to say what at least half of Finland already knew: Vornanen does not enjoy his trust.

The episode also discusses why the 54-year-old Vornanen offered drinks to 18- and 19-year-old young women in a karaoke bar without telling them that he is an MP and a police officer. Would saying this out loud have chased the women away and prevented the shooting?

What about Vornanen’s apology? Was it genuine or was it an exit made by a politician out of necessity, in which Vornanen apologized for everything but his actions?

The episode also talks about Vornase’s future as a member of parliament, job opportunities outside the parliament and the parliament’s weapons.

In the joke of the week section, you will hear a joke.
