Greens call for end to Parliament's €50 million Christmas bonus allocations

The Green League has voted to support ending the Finnish Parliament's annual allocation of discretionary funds, known as "Christmas bonus money". The decision was made during the party's weekend congress and marks a shift in the party’s stance on government spending.

The initiative was approved despite opposition from the party’s executive board. It was proposed by the Greens in Central Finland, who argued that ending the practice reflects responsible fiscal policy and sound governance.
