Finance minister Riikka Purra tells on Facebookthat he has made a trade Auction Emperorfrom the program Aki and Heli Palsanmäki with.
– I sold cardboard Juss, scissors and a lot of other stuff from home and the corners of the party office. To be shouted at this week. I already accounted for my own income to charity.
Auction on the website a picture of Purra’s scissors has been published. Purra’s initials are written on the blade of the black scissors. The starting price of the scissors has not been announced.
Palsamäki informs Facebookaccount, that all products purchased from Purra will be sold at auction on Friday, May 29 at 6 p.m.
Scissors especially catch the eye from the list, because Purra has once been in the middle of a scissor frenzy. In 2024, a photo was published of Purra, in which the finance minister was holding scissors and smiling. The picture was connected to the cuts planned by the government. Purra had also presented a cutting board with his picture on his social media, with the text: “Now it’s time to cut”.
At that time, Purra told Iltalehte what the purpose of the scissors picture was and who it was aimed at.
– Yes, cutting boards and scissors. I find it somewhat problematic to comment on the uproar on social media and the media. Other actors will then do it for me as well, such as journalists, Purra answered.
Purra said he would be happy to talk about the situation in which the scissors picture was taken.
– At the Ministry of Finance, a group of fundamentalist Finnish parliamentarians were listening to public servants’ presentations about how much needs to be saved and how bad the state of the public finances has been. That is, we discussed these matters with the head of the office and the head of the budget. After that we visited my own room.
– Other reasons for publishing a picture should be asked from the publisher of the picture. I was not the one who published the picture.
