Purra says her earlier online comments were “angry text, nothing else”

MINISTER OF FINANCE Riikka Purra (PS) has distanced herself from her earlier comments on online message boards, reports Helsingin Sanomat.

“My angry test was just angry text, nothing else. I don’t approve, nor have I ever approved, of any kind of violence,” she tweeted before 10pm on Monday, justifying her earlier comments with a “frustration and hopelessness” about “certain ripple effects of immigration” in Finland.
