- It is not up to officials and local politicians to deal with the national minority languages ​​in any case, says Johanna Parikka, lawyer and representative of the mothers who require their and others' children to keep their education in Finnish, and other minority languages, in the preschool classes.

Refers to conventions

Johanna Parikka refers to Swedish and international legislation.

- Sweden has signed international conventions that are binding. National minority rights are also part of human rights, she says.

Want some precedent

Although the City of Malmö is withdrawing its earlier decision, the mothers want the matter to be tried in court.

- We want to get a precedent. The law has been around for twenty years but has never been tried, says Taru Viinikainen, mother of a preschool-class girl.
