Several sources told the broadcaster that Finns Party Minister Ville Tavio pulled Finland out of the alliance because it intends to promote the causes of gender and sexual minorities.
“As far as Ukraine is concerned, the humanitarian aid side has focused more on the disabled, the elderly and so on. It’s a question of focus,” the minister said.
That’s true I suppose. His motivation does not appear to be altruistic but if it was a case of diverting limited funds, I can see his excuse not to fund this being reasonable.
That sounds…reasonable?
Because it’s a lie told to cover up bigotry.
Sure… if you ignore the entire rest of the article.

I mean I’m not doubting the minister is a bit of a homophobe but I don’t think it’s wrong to focus aid on the disabled.

Oh good, so you agree that his excuse is unreasonable then! I’m glad we had this little discussion.
Yes, thank you for the polite discourse.
