HS: Centre’s silence on Pride draws criticism from within party

MEMBERS of the Centre Party are at odds over how visibly and vocally the party should participate and support Pride, reports Helsingin Sanomat.

Harriet Lonka, the district chief of the Centre in Helsinki, criticised the party for its silence on the rights of gender and sexual minorities in a guest contribution published in Suomenmaa, a Centre-affiliated newspaper published in Oulu, on 5 July.
