Päivi Räsänen read almost 4 hours in duration, interrogation the police law and the word of God:"I got the feeling that this is just to this end"
MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT and the chairman of the parliamentary group of Päivi Räsänen (Christian Democrats) characterizes today's poliisikuulusteluaan "tight setiksi". He says the interrogation lasted almost four hours.
- There's no other way to drink water in between. The police had a long list of questions. I was under strict examination, Räsänen says.
Räsänen suspected of ethnic agitation. He himself claims to have taken tweet the law and order of the church in those activities. Questioning took place, inter alia, through the word of the Bible and church law.
The law defines the Church, that the Church's task is to "preach the word of God." The Church of Association again states that "all to learn in the Church must be examined and evaluated according to the sacred word of God." Räsänen believes stance, did just the church in order that assessment.
In June, in its twiitissä Räsänen shared a photo of verses in Romans 1. 24-27, where gay sexuality equated with shame and sin. Räsänen twiitillään criticized the fact that the Church proclaimed Pride event as an official partner.
- The Bible was quite literally on the table open and it was read at several points. For example, I had to assess what is the connection of these verses the rest of Romans. We went through the Romans the third reading and the second Cor. You could say that pretty much theological discussion, Räsänen says.
RÄSÄNEN admits that he was aware of the purpose of writing Tweets to get it spread to the widest possible audience. He shared the same content text but also on Facebook and Instagram.
- It was not just any internal debate within the church, but yes, I had a goal to stimulate discussion more broadly.
Räsänen says absolute respect for the human dignity of homosexuals and that they have imported this also raised questioning. He justifies the writings belief and religious freedom. He believes the church on the Pride event contrary to the Charter of the Church, namely the Bible.
- The Bible teaches that sexual relations outside of marriage are not in accordance with the will of God, and not in the way a source of pride as Pride event are shown, says Räsänen.
A CHEERFUL -sounding Räsänen says its departure from the examination with satisfaction. He trusts the police, and encourages everyone to use the freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
- I'm grateful that I got so thoroughly to find out their views. At the same time, however, came to feel that this is just to this end. It is possible that this is proceeding the prosecutor.

- Does the licensing believe, teach and publicly displayed the message of the Bible, which is almost every Finnish home, Räsänen asks.
Räsänen says that he will not give up the case and is ready to go as far as you need it.
- I do not believe in any judgment, but if you would so far, so yes, then it certainly should go ahead. But they are now there is no point at this stage to predict.
FOR THE FIRST time in the police interview suspects had Räsänen experienced a situation absurd, because it is convinced her conscience.
- Yes, this is a strange feeling to be precisely such a case on suspicion of engaging. On the other hand, what is this good for your self is that it must contain a clear conscience. I do not feel guilty of an offense and I have nothing to regret in this matter.
Räsänen According to him, also asked, whether he is prepared to remove tweets led to a criminal investigation.
- I replied that I did not agree. I stand behind my words, says Räsänen.

Päivi Maria Räsänen, née Kuvaja (born December 19, 1959, in Sonkajärvi, Finland[1]), is a Finnish politician. The chairwoman of the Christian Democrats from 2004 to 2015, she was the Minister of the Interior of Finland between 2011 and 2015.[2]
A physician by education, Räsänen entered politics in the early 1990s, running for parliament in 1991. She has been in the Riihimäki City Council since 1993, and in the Finnish Parliament since 1995. She was elected the chairperson of the Christian Democrats in October 2, 2004.[3] Following the government formation after the 2011 election, which led to the Christian Democrats joining the government, Räsänen was nominated by the party as the Minister of the Interior in the 72nd Finnish Cabinet led by Jyrki Katainen,[4] and she was inaugurated along with the government on June 22, 2011.[2]

Career and political positions[edit]
Räsänen has been characterized as a conservative. On October 12, 2010, Räsänen was one of the participants on a live TV debate on Ajankohtainen kakkonen's Homoilta special, with the topic of same-sex marriage and LGBT rights. The program was followed by an unprecedented exodus from the Evangelical Lutheran Church — in a few weeks, nearly 40,000 members left the Church through the website eroakirkosta.fi.[5][6] Räsänen was on the show representing her party and herself as a Christian individual along with five other opponents of gay marriage, but the resignations were specifically attributed to her by the media in general and then-Minister of Culture and Sports Stefan Wallin.[7] Räsänen thinks homosexual acts are a sin[8] and she herself does not consider her views "specifically extreme".[9]
When interviewed by Ylioppilaslehti on October 29, 2010, Räsänen said that she would favor Christians over Muslims when selecting asylum seekers to Finland due, in her opinion, to Muslims' "difficulties to adjust to the Finnish culture".[10] Her comments were condemned as "incomprehensible and merciless" by then-Minister of Migration and European Affairs Astrid Thors and then-Minister of Culture and Sports Stefan Wallin.[11] Räsänen responded to the criticism, saying her comments were misinterpreted, since she did not consider religion as the main criterion for asylum seekers' admissions, but instead she wanted to highlight the benefits of refugees' integration through religious connections.[12] In practice, as minister in charge of immigration affairs Räsänen has advocated for increasing the number of refugees taken in by Finland, especially from Syria.[13]
In September 2012 Räsänen appointed a religiously conservative applicant, considered less qualified by the media, among six candidates to Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Interior Affairs, which created considerable debate, especially as she had previously condemned political appointments of government officials.[14]
Stance on abortion[edit]
She is pro-life on abortion. She has made statements on the matter, since she is Minister of the Interior, that led a number of Finns to leave the Lutheran church of Finland via an online service in July 2013.[15] Räsänen contrasted abortion law to animal protection law saying that the latter gives better protection for animals than the former does to humans (fetuses):
In total 6,500 persons left the church in the first six days following the controversy, while the average number had been 70 persons a day prior to it.[17]
Personal life[edit]
Räsänen is married and has five children. She lives in Riihimäki.[1] Räsänen is a physician and holds a Licentiate of Medicine.
