A survey conducted by the parliamentary office in Finland has concluded that harassment and inappropriate behavior among staff is not widespread, with only seven out of 40 aides reporting incidents in the past year. Pertti Rauhio, the head of administration at the Parliament, stated that the findings do not warrant an escalated response or immediate training initiatives, as the reports received do not indicate any severe crisis situation.

The survey's results, completed in early February, align closely with previous assessments. The Parliament's communication indicates that while some cases of inappropriate treatment and harassment exist, they vary in nature and are not prevalent. This finding aims to shed light on the existing environment within the parliamentary staff and address concerns raised by recent allegations involving members of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), further highlighting the necessity for ongoing discussions about workplace conduct.

The public discourse on harassment and inappropriate behavior within the Parliament has intensified following allegations against SDP lawmakers, which has drawn attention to the internal culture and prompted this survey. As the parliamentary investigation continues, any underlying issues related to staff conduct and welfare will remain a significant point of focus for the institution, demanding a careful review of workplace policies and practices.
