Ich weiß nicht, ob viele Leute sie kennen, aber in Norwegen haben wir das, was wir unser Eigen nennen "nationaler Finne". Sie ist promovierte Lehrerin und hat viele Jahre in der Schule gearbeitet.
Sie wurde in Norwegen bekannt, nachdem sie viele Artikel über den Niedergang der norwegischen Schulen geschrieben hatte, darüber, dass die Dinge in Finnland oft besser und anders sind und wie stark das Jante-Gesetz in Norwegen ist.
Sie ist sowohl provokant als auch einnehmend. Viele sagen, dass sie Recht hat, was die Norweger angeht, und dass wir auf sie hören müssen, während andere meinen, sie sollte einfach nach Finnland zurückkehren.
Kennen Sie sie und wenn ja, was denken die Finnen über sie?
Ich füge einige Artikel bei, die sie geschrieben hat, für die jedoch möglicherweise eine Anmeldung erforderlich ist.

Never heard of her.
Don’t know anything about her, but if she’s any good she’d be in touch with thr current state of schooling in Finland too, and that it has gone down hill on here too.
Never heard of them
Can’t read two last links, but first one was fine. I do not know about Norwergian politics but a lot of the stuff she wrote about Finland is correct more or less.
Her hate of sauna is blasphemous though, no true Finn hates sauna. No wonder she is in Norway.
There’s very little written about her in Finnish language, and the little that can be googled is not positive. I doubt many Finns would have any opinion of her.
(Or Jante-law for that matter. Whatever that might be.)
Never heard.
I encourage every provocative, homesick, and lying person living abroad to move back to their home country, whether it’s a Finn in Norway or a Norwegian in Finland.
I had never heard of this person before.
We have our own similar celebs in Finland. Search for Anu Saagim and her views about us.
Absolutely zero idea who that is, unfortunately I can’t read, speak nor write Norwegian so I can’t familiarize myself with her either.
She’s out of the loop about Finnish public schooling quality overall as well. Different here? Sure. Better? Fuck N-to-the-O.
Never heard of her. Well, at least she has no idea of the situation of our schools are in currently. Wouldn’t really recommend to anyone, maybe if we are talking about our schools 20 years ago, they were great.
About 300,000 Finns live outside Finland’s borders. As an introvert I’m afraid I cannot possibly know all of them. I have never heard of this Sanna either and therefore I have no opinion.
I also had to google Law of Jante, so I apologize my ignorance. But that seems to be a very common Nordic code of conduct indeed.
there was a fairly large article about her views and career in Helsingin Sanomat this year, framed her in a positive light
Never heard about her before. Seem that she has written 4 books in norwegien, but none of those have been translated in finnish.
Since you asked about opinion: hellt gøy att de finns en officiel finnländare i norge.
Nevöhööd.
Never heard of that name before. She is completely unknown in Finland.
Never heard of her before. Read the article. I know some Norwegian due to family ties. She writes well, and funny. And the text is easy to follow. I wish we had as talented writers as her in our newspapers.
In my opinion Finns know too little about Norway. But at least we don’t have a Norwegian slightly racist character on tv everyday. I can give you one dad joke in Swedish.
Vad är haj på norska? Kämpetorsk.
I guarantee nobody knows her here. I’ve worked in the media, and this is the first time I’ve heard of her.
Seems a few articles have been written about her in Finnish, but she isn’t in any way present in any conversation.
Googling her, she seems pretty annoying. It feels like she rides on novelty, being a cultural outsider, who can conjure any narrative about Finland to justify any point she’s making.
Never heard of her.
Who, what, where, when, why….?
As someone who was born in Finland and lived in many places and is now Norwegian, I agree with many things she writes but don’t say that to most of my Norwegian colleagues, many people here get easily upset when you point out e.g. how bad supermarkets or food in Norway is compared to Finland.
