Tourist tax does not suit Helsinki. Helsinki's problem is not excessive business travel, but the lack of tourists. A new tax would weaken competitiveness, particularly impacting congress and business travel, and would increase bureaucracy. Tourism should be promoted, not taxed. (translated)

The good treatment of animals is a hallmark of a civilized society. Violating the animal keeping ban will result in stricter penalties in the future, and authorities will have better means to intervene in violations. Those who mistreat animals do not deserve to keep them. (translated)

The reading skills of Finnish youth have sharply declined, and perseverance is also low. (translated)

The PISA results are out, the message is clear: the decline in learning outcomes must be reversed now. The effects of the pandemic are still visible. The investments made in foundational skills, the mobile phone ban, as well as investments in reading and physical activity have been wise - the results will be visible in the future. Work must continue. (translated)

Incredible actions in Paris. Europe and the world must wake up: even one act of hiding and sidelining a person because of their gender is too much. Long live equality and #equality - the planet 🌎 belongs to all of us! #EiffelTower (translated)

Good news and a victory! A legislative proposal that allows housing communities to more easily prohibit disruptive smoking in homes, on balconies, and in outdoor areas. The goal is to reduce involuntary exposure to tobacco smoke and to ensure people's living comfort. (translated)

I am concerned about violent and abusive networks that often target young people. Some have increased the risk of sexual harassment by providing perpetrators with direct and often unmonitored access to the lives of children and young people. (translated)

Protecting children from the harms of social media is essential. Excessive use of social media and exposure to inappropriate content weaken children's development, health, and well-being. #socialmedialimits is wise and necessary. (translated)

Finnish parents consider the sexual harassment faced by children on social media and the internet a serious problem. It is wise to swiftly enact legislation that restricts the social media use of children under 15! Boundaries are love. #reasonandsentiment (translated)

Complete rejection of the tightening of labor taxation – tax increases would be poison for purchasing power, economic recovery, and employment. Work must always be worthwhile. It is the cornerstone of the welfare state. (translated)

Good news! Adult chickenpox vaccinations have started – the vaccine is offered to those who have not had the disease or received vaccinations. Chickenpox can be serious, especially for pregnant individuals and those with weakened immune systems. #urbanwisdom (translated)

The intensified work to combat violence against women continues. The draft law currently under consultation regarding the assessment of the need for protection of victims of sexual offenses and domestic violence is both welcome and necessary! (translated)

Lukusuositus ja hyvä kysymys: ”Millainen on se maa, joka väheksyy omaa historiaansa niin paljon, että sen esittämisestä pitäisi etukäteen varoittaa kansalaisia?” #suvivirsi #juhlaperinnen #kevätjuhla https://t.co/9PeENlnOtv #historia #kulttuuri #kansallidentiteetti
