“We are gathering in Turku in our Party Congress in a situation where we need every day a stronger class oriented struggle for better worker´s rights, for more equal women’s rights, for universal human rights and Peace. It is time for an international class struggle against fascism, racism and neoliberal governments not only in Finland, not only against the antihuman and antidemocratic EU but also against all the concrete forms of Austerity politics, capitalist exploitation and imperialists wars all over the world”

One of the key initiatives of Communist Party of Finland is better working hours, specifically the general transition to a 6-hour working day and a 30-hour working week without reducing wages. The party's legislative proposal on this topic has now been updated to reflect current times, incorporating many new experiences and justifications. Better working time surpasses current working time legislation in all respects. Read why!
The most dramatic aspect concerning Finland's sovereignty in the Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA) is that troops and weapons systems will be brought here whose use will be decided by the US and, if it so wishes, exclusively by the US, says Yrjö Hakanen chair of the Helsinki district committee of the CPF.
