Welcome to the website of Peter Östman 

The Christian Democrats want to ensure that our democratic society is built on Christian values. By Christian values we mean the universal and lasting values which arise from the Bible and the Christian heritage, and form the basis of a good, functioning community.

Political decision-making is all about our values. The decision makers’ values are seen in the choices they make which are then reflected both in laws passed and in economic decisions.

Every human being is unique

The central value of the Christian Democrats is human dignity, based on God’s work of creation. Everyone is a unique and indispensable individual. Human dignity is based on a person’s being, not on theirdoing or abilities. It is priceless, regardless of gender, age, position, religion, origin of birth or other criteria. Human life and dignity is to be respected right from conception to natural death. The starting point of Christian Democrats is always to be on the side of life, be it in the use of human embryos, abortion or euthanasia. Respecting and protecting life must be the principle also when defining the limits of  scientific research.

Part of the Christian Democratic international movement

 The Christian Democratic movement was born in several countries to defend these enduring basic values. Finland’s Christian Democrats is part  of this international, diverse Christian Democratic movement.
