The president can veto government decisions.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Let's remember that the presidential veto is only a suspensive veto. So if the parliament sees no reason to change the bill, it will go through even without presidential approval. The veto will also only suspend a bill for three months.

And, well, just because the president can veto a bill doesn't mean that they will do so. It'd certainly be unpopular, so such a measure would be quite extraordinary.

I don't know about that detail, but for the current fascist government, Stubb would surely be a great partner for them.

About your other comments before. You have surely heard of the planned strikes. And you know what happened last time the Nazis/neoliberalists were in power. Last time, the working time was increased for everyone, resulting in a loss of quality-of-life for everyone (except the rich of course). Now they want to remove all protections against firing people. People should be fireable without giving any reason. Does that sound positive to you?

And then for Kokoomus there is the whole part about partnering with the straight-out Nazis instead of choosing a coalition with some non-fascist parties.

Why do people do this? Go to the internet and spread lies, that is.

It might be an exaggeration but they aren't really lying lying. The current cabinet is setting the needle in wrong directions in many societal areas
