Arja Sinikka Juvonen (born 8 December 1967) is a Finnish politician who represents the conservative Finns Party in the Parliament of Finland.[1][2][3]

Career

Juvonen served in the city council of Espoo since 2009 and in 2011 was elected to represent the Uusimaa constituency in the Parliament of Finland.[4]

In 2017, Juvonen left the Finns Party due to the election of the Jussi Halla-aho as the leader of the party. However, she did not join the Blue Reform party, which was formed by the MPs that had left the Finns Party.[5] Instead, after a few weeks, Juvonen re-joined the Finns Party.[6]

In May 2020, Juvonen publicly criticized the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Finland, arguing that the government was not prepared to response to the pandemic.[7]
