]]> Comment on Finland after “Jytky” by Jozef Svajl http://laak.fi/2011/04/finland-after-jytky/#comment-46 Jozef Svajl Mon, 18 Apr 2011 17:28:17 +0000 http://laak.fi/?p=46#comment-46 I agree; their victory isn't that serious politically speaking. Especially because of the concern it has raised from non-persu people meaning that a response is imminent. What does worry me, however, is those Finns (myself included) who live abroad and would one day like to return. With my dual nationality and Europe-trotting lifestyle I could go live almost anywhere, but my persistent homesickness is forcing me to make plans to return. It's hard enough with my cousins there presenting me as "the Italian" when I was in fact born and raised in Finland, now I wonder what life will be like when this nationalist agenda is brought to the forefront of Finnish life. Besides, the rising popularity of right-wing populism in Europe at large is a concerning phenomenon. Soon enough the weather will remain the only factor in moving.

I couldn't hear me singing, but the audience was great. I really loved it. As far as I could tell, it wasn’t bad. I couldn’t hear me singing, but the audience was great. I really loved it.
