Aamulehti reports that Tampere's Finns Party city council group vice-chair Marika Puolimatka filed a complaint on February 27 with Hämeenlinna Administrative Court over Mayor Ilmari Nurminen's 50,000-euro Gaza donation.

The gift was funded from the mayor's discretionary funds and routed through Save the Children to Gaza children, and Helsinki and Turku have carried out similar donations.
