The Finnish politician Jani Mäkelä of the Finns Party criticized President Alexander Stubb for allowing rainbow flags to be raised at Presidential Palace and Mäntyniem in honor of Pride Day. The rainbow flags were raised on Saturday, and the presidential office wrote on social media that everyone should have the opportunity to live freely and equally. Mäkelä called the decision a 'trick' and suggested that the president should focus more on traditional values and foreign policy, which are part of his role. Stubb has previously spoken in favor of the rights of sexual minorities, and last year he and his wife Suzanne Innes-Stubb served as protectors during Helsinki Pride Week. Kansanedustaja Onni Rostila (Finns Party) also expressed similar criticism, questioning the stance of Prime Minister Petteri Orpo (National Coalition Party), who supports the goals of the Pride movement. Meanwhile, other parliamentary parties traditionally support the objectives of Pride.
