My platform for Espoo:

  1. Municipal services can be provided with both good quality and reasonable municipal tax. I want to decrease the municipal tax.
  2. In addition to good public transportation, we need fluent private motoring in Espoo. I’m against road tolls and in favor of building enough parking lots. I’ll stand up for the interests of motorists.
  3. Espoo is a large city by area. I promise to defend services for people living in Espoo from Westend to Kalajärvi and from Kauklahti to Otaniemi. Everyone living in Espoo must have good value for the money they pay in taxes.

 

My platfom for Länsi-Uusimaa County:

  1. I want to adopt the personal doctor model. The best model is one where the patient can choose their doctor themselves – including doctors who operate as entrepreneurs.
  2. Digital services make everyday life easier, allowing patients to consult a doctor via video from their home sofa. This also frees up more time for face-to-face appointments for those who cannot use digital services.
  3. By boldly adopting new ways of working, strengthening basic services and prevention, and utilizing technology whenever it makes sense, we can build better services for people while ensuring our expenses keep at a sustainable level.
  4. It’s very important for Finland to recruit trained social and healthcare workers from abroad. We need to ensure they have sufficient language skills and knowledge of Finnish work practices.
