Amendment of PP1 A10
We fully agree with the amendment proposed by Grønn Ungdom, Grön Ungdom and Vihreät nuoret. However, we find the terminology of 'refunding' the police problematic, and believe that the necessary steps must go further than what was proposed.
Our counter-amendment:
- Changes refunding the police to redirecting funds of the police.
- Reformulates expands on the proposed steps.
Why:
- Whilst we understand the switch from 'defunding' to 'refunding' sounds nice from a slogan-perspective, the use of the word refunding is very problematic especially in response to POC calling for the defunding of the police.
- We fully agree with the measures proposed by the submitters, however we believe there are several comprehensive steps necessary in the reform of the police. We expand on this.
