The image that sparked interest was shared on the Paraisten Perussuomalaiset local association's Facebook page, portraying Antero Nummenmaa, a member of the association, prominently holding a can of Hartwall original long drink. This drink has become popular in Finland and adds a humorous touch to the meeting. The event was intended to be a sauna night, a common social activity, but upon arrival, the group discovered the sauna was under renovation, which led to an amusing situation where Nummenmaa ended up with two long drinks and a pizza instead.

Nummenmaa clarifies that there were supposed to be some traditional sauna activities that evening, but the plan was disrupted when they learned the sauna facilities were not available. Initially unprepared for the change, the attendees had to adapt their evening’s activities. With the disappointment of not being able to enjoy sauna time, the group turned to their drinks and food to keep the spirits high.

This incident, while lighthearted, highlights the community aspect of local gatherings and how unexpected circumstances can lead to memorable moments. The image has resonated with many, showcasing the humor and camaraderie inherent in local politics and societal activities, particularly in Finnish culture where sauna traditions are a vital aspect of social interaction.
