'We will promise to treat you with kid gloves and let you do whatever you like, if you belong to the golden circle, have a cash and preferably – a bank account, or a bank in Malta.' In Malta, a taxation for Maltese companies is 35%, but for foreign companies only 5%. For example a huge German retail chain Lidl, pays 5% taxes whereas local Maltese supermarkets are ripped off. Unfair or not, this post isn't about Malta, this is about the reality of, how are things running in my dear home country, Finland. My goal is to do my share against injustice and stand behind the values that being a Finnish used to represent for me.
While the Government of Finland is cutting from the healthcare and education, the citizens are paying a remarkable amount of income taxes.
In Finland, it is shown that people are privileged to rob people and do whatever they like seemingly above the Finnish law, if having as much money and power as the Chairman of the board of Kone Corporation has (yes, he is Finnish and the 500. richest man in the world) or are running a shady banking business in Malta (or in Finland).
Often people that I meet have an idea of my home country, Finland as the most non-corrupted country in the earth with free education and healthcare. A country where everybody’s equal, a country without discrimination. Let me tell you a story, which unfortunately is non-fiction.
In past 1,5 years, I have witnessed from too close, that Finland isn’t what I have imagined in the past. Finland is just like any other d e v e l o p i n g country. The only difference is that we are slowly getting back from developed -to developing country. Just as like The United States Of America.
Finland is a country just like any other – from the “privileged” position is enjoying the gentlemen X and Y among their golden circle constructed by the decision makers in Finland.

We are waiting for how this will end; is there a part of the Judiciary and the police departments in Finland, that stay incorruptible? We still want to believe in Finland as a ‘country of justice’ somehow, although our belief has experienced a hard chase.
What we believe in somehow more than Finland these days, is the European Union. We are not going to give up, we are not afraid of criminals - even they had money, we are ready to fight for our rights.

The articles that I'm referring to, haven't all yet been published in the international media as those have been just published by some of the media companies in Finland that aren't owned by the gentlemen the article is about.
