Timo Soini: "Like shit on the wall of the Junttila toilet"

Former leader of the Finns Party, Timo Soini, criticizes the Centre Party (RKP) for not removing Social and Health Minister Wille Rydman from office during a confidence vote in Parliament. Soini argues that if the RKP had been more resolute under his leadership, they would have forced Rydman out of the government. He claims that the RKP's decision to abstain from voting against Rydman has allowed them to remain in government despite their low popularity. Soini contrasts this with his own experience leading the Finns Party into government in 2015, where he warned coalition partners that the RKP was an unsuitable partner. Despite their low support, the RKP has remained in most governments since independence, often holding significant influence due to their role in maintaining majority support. Soini suggests that the RKP should now consider leaving the government to assert their position.
