The Truth Party (Finnish: Totuuspuolue, abbr. TP) is a registered extra-parliamentary political party in Finland. The party was registered on 26 April 2023.[1]
Ideology
[edit]The Party views that the European Union is illegal based on the Finnish Constitution, and seeks that Finland should leave the European Union. The Party describes the Government as a Mafia Network, and wishes to leave NATO by reason of the Paasikivi–Kekkonen doctrine.[2][3]
Controversy
[edit]The Chairperson of the Truth Party, Jaana Kavonius, has demanded the death penalty for former President Sauli Niinistö.[4] She is also facing several charges of defamation, and may be looking at a prison sentence of around five years.[5] Finnish authorities issued an arrest warrant for her in the autumn of 2023.[6]
Elections
[edit]The party's only candidate in the 2024 European Parliament election in Finland received 807 votes and was not elected.[7] During the 2024 campaign, the party did not allow its sole candidate to participate in a debate by Yle for extra-parliamentary parties.[8][9]
