Finnish presidential candidates unite against an English-dominant Finland

In a recent survey conducted by Oma kieli ry, six Finnish presidential candidates unanimously voiced opposition to the ongoing trend of English becoming more prevalent in Finnish society. The candidates, Mika Aaltola, Sari Essayah, Pekka Haavisto, Jussi Halla-aho, Harry Harkimo, and Olli Rehn, responded to a series of questions about the role of English in Finnish society, particularly in education, public, and private services. Notably, Li Andersson, Alexander Stubb, and Jutta Urpilainen did not participate in the survey.
