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]
