The National Coalition Party Youth has responded to the Minister of Finance Riikka Purra's proposal, which suggests that social benefit recipients who are immigrants should be mandated to engage in unpaid work. They emphasize that this requirement should not apply only to immigrants, but to all work-capable individuals receiving benefits. The youth organization argues that work is an opportunity for participation and responsibility, and that everyone should contribute in return for their benefits.

Binga Tupamäki, the chairperson of Kokoomusnuoret, articulates the belief that passively distributing benefits leads to a segment of the working-age population becoming inactive. He stresses the need for a dynamic approach to social support, asserting that there are ample opportunities for small tasks in municipalities and various institutions. This point emphasizes a broader societal perspective that encourages active participation in the community rather than dependence on benefits.

The response from the opposition party, the Social Democratic Party (SDP), dismisses the suggestion made by the Finance Minister, indicating a deepening ideological divide on social welfare policies within Finnish politics. The discourse reflects ongoing debates about the responsibilities of benefit recipients and the implications for social integration, particularly concerning immigrant communities. This proposal by the Kokoomusnuoret attempts to reshape the narrative around social benefits in Finland by promoting an inclusive yet accountable system for all benefit recipients.
