The incomprehensible situation of Finland needs international focusing on the subject:
It´s somehow sad, but quite exposing, that to become a leading intellectual of Finland is that easy, that it takes from H. Tala´s (Suomalaisuuden Liitto) side only to patiently and tenaciously underline the citizens´right just to speak about the most ridiculous taboo of Finnish´s last decades political history. The case is so simple, almost naive, that all our children has to learn swedish language obligatory at the school. The finnish children must learn that european minority language of 5 % fraction without any real and just reason that a thinking educated man could accept nowadays. There probably is no other argument than cynical and strong oligarghic soviet-type powers in all the political groups. All efforts to speak freely an criticize the situation and the party who owns "officially" the monopoly to all swedish-language-related-things in the allegedly "bilingual"country -by it´s own right- are branded beforehand almost as criminal agitating. Ordinary people who breaks the "custom-of the-country", "the "self-censorship" on the subject has been labeled to fascists or "hitlerists" at the most wildest intrigues. Does not sound sane, does it ?
What does that tell about the country I just guess ! And what does the censorship of the theme equally in the political arena and in the media, in the high and low ranks of the political scene, in the governmental parties and in the so-called "opposition" too, tell about the ability of these democracy-so-keenly-advertising people even to negotiate on the subject rationally, - and more impotantly of the true freedom of the ordinary people in the country! It´s very alerting that there has been even discussions of the need of police to interfere to the question, just because the people don´t want to be silent and tacit anymore. The conversation about the question has been corrupted before the conversation has even been started genuinely. The politics´signal to people has mechanically been that the question is a priori groundless and that it´s even not interesting to anybody.
Wake up Finns ! Clear up this awful mess and start to behave like civilized ones once again.
Tala is a great and warm figure in the midst of the relic-fixated cynical obscurantists in the toothless and hollow administrative parties. The one-man-opposition. The obvious centre of gravity in the near-future cultural life and politics. He reminds me of Lennart Meri somehow. Not a glib ladykiller in the miami-vice-style-suit but like an old incorruptible judge in a small rural village. Old man, but still seemingly young enough to frighten the younger ones, who are only succesful to anaesthetize the whole country with their old hypocrite doctrines and lithurgies about the "bilinguality". We are living interesting times, my friends.
