It's Sofia Virra with the heavy lyrics about Wille Rydman.

The article reports on criticism from Finland's Green League leader Sofia Virta against Social Affairs and Health Minister Wille Rydman. Virta argues that Rydman's policies, including cuts to state benefits, threaten thousands of jobs in social and healthcare organizations. She compares this to how the government would react if similar cuts were proposed in industry, suggesting a lack of prioritization for these sectors. Virta also criticizes the government's inconsistent approach to employment policy, highlighting the contradiction between funding large projects like Helsinki Garden and simultaneously reducing existing jobs. She questions whether the government has considered the true cost savings of these cuts, noting that layoffs reduce tax revenue while increasing social security costs. Finally, she calls Rydman's ideological attack on organizations 'dangerous' and warns of creating a society where only the strong survive.
