Matleena Käppi - your candidate for the European parliament!

I am a 28-year-old sustainability expert and musician from Jyväskylä, Central Finland, and running for the European Parliament with the Left Alliance for the second time. I have six years of experience in local politics as a city councilor and county councilor. I am currently studying socio-ecological economics and politics in Vienna, Austria, and I want to do advocacy work internationally. In my opinion, all decision-making should be based on scientific knowledge and humane values.Vote for humanity and climate action in the European election!

My themes in a nutshell:

ENVIRONMENT
🔥 Environmental crisis and biodiversity loss must be faced together, based on scientific research.
🤑 Continuous economic growth must be questioned – a fair transition towards a sustainable degrowth economy is needed.
🌍 All decision-making must be based on planetary boundaries.

HUMAN RIGHTS
🕊️ Sustainable peace is built from human rights, equality and the rule of law.
🌊 Humane immigration policy – no more deaths in the Mediterranean!
🇵🇸 The EU must be a consistent defender of human rights.

FAIR ECONOMY
🏚️ The EU must prevent tax evasion and tax competition that erodes states’ finances.
🤖 The risks of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and biotechnology, must be alleviated with sustainable regulation.
🧕🏽 Oppression of developing countries must end – we need investments in development cooperation!

ANIMAL RIGHTS
🐷 Decision makers are responsible for ensuring ethical food production. The EU must stop funding animal suffering.
🐥 Welfare standards for farm animals must be raised.
👨🏻‍🌾 The transition towards sustainable plant-based food production must start now. The transition will be fair to the producers.
