We wish to thank you on behalf of thousands of people who have posted their comments in social media, on websites and in the media, giving praise to our campaign “Tämäkin vätys tässä”. The most typical comment we received is: “This was needed!”

The talk on unemployment has gained new tones. Based on the feedback, our campaign gave many people assurance that unemployment does not deprive them of human dignity. Of course there is still plenty to do to change the discussion culture.

We thank you warmly for contributing to what we think is a responsible act. The voices of our members decided the direction we took. Around 70% of those who responded to the vote on our campaign wanted to see an advertisement starring Petra Olli.
