Former miss Nora Vennamo48, is the candidate of the Green Party in the parliamentary elections in Häme constituency. Vennamo announces the matter in its Facebook post.
Vennamo admits that he didn’t think about running in the parliamentary elections before. Vennamo’s mind changed when he was faced with a border.
– When I’ve seen the direction Orpo’s government has taken Finland by building economic growth by cutting time and time again from those who are already having a hard time, I could no longer stand quietly on the sidelines and watch Finland drain into a state of growing class differences, where welfare is seen as an expense and not an investment. Without trying to influence. Without trying to stand in support of the weakest, who have now been forced into the cutter, Vennamo writes.
– I was forced to move by the concern about what kind of country Finland is becoming. A country where the poor are being cut at the same time as new tax cuts are being planned for the most well-off. A country where, as money flows to money, bread lines grow and class differences become stronger. A country that, piece by piece, is eroding the basic pillars of the welfare state – those that we should specifically cherish, he continues.
Vennamo questions how the government can give money for tax reductions, but not, for example, for mental health treatment for young people.
– I don’t want Finland, where good treatment depends on the thickness of the wallet. I want a Finland where human dignity is not a market commodity. That’s why I’m involved, Vennamo argued.
– Not because I believe that politics is perfect. But because I believe Finland can be better than this direction we are being taken now. If there is a will, there are also means, he adds.

Vennamo is following in his father’s footsteps. Vennamo’s father is a former minister and chairman of SMP Pekka Vennamowho died in February as a result of an acute illness.
Vennamo came to the public as a miss and reality TV star at the end of the 1990s. Among other things, she took part in the Miss Internet contest, danced at invited guest parties and competed in television VIP Adventure in the program.
In the 21st century, Vennamo disappeared from the public eye. In 2019, Vennamo told Helsingin Sanomat’s Kuukausiliitte that the celebrity world did not feel like his own.
– There were quirks, but it wasn’t my world and I don’t miss publicity. I didn’t see any reason why the magazines were writing about me, he stated.
At that time, Vennamo said he was working in bars in Turku.
