Prime Minister Juha Sipilä (center.) to give his home at the end of the year to asylum seekers. He would like to encourage everyone in Finland to open up their homes for asylum seekers.

He travels today to Oulu, which is wrestling with the difficult question of asylum, and discusses placing asylum seekers in his not in use Kempele home.

Sipilä's family lives in Sipoo and they have a state official residence in Helsinki Kesäranta.

The Prime Minister also calls on churches and voluntary organizations to find new locations for asylum seekers.

He has followed with concern the debate in the European Union of asylum seekers burden-sharing. This is according to him due to a lack of solidarity, which is something that is foreign to him.

  • I hope this will be some kind of popular movement that voluntarily bear the burden of housing asylum seekers, Prime Minister Sipilä says.

He wants with his own actions to show responsibility and the fact that Finland is a multicultural country.

Prime Minister Sipilä does not want to see swastika flags hoisted on flagpoles at asylum centers.
