Onni Rostila wrote that the French government specifically accused the far left of inciting riots and violence. He urged people to assess for themselves what kind of group was rampaging in the streets and criticized Yle's reporting on the youth protests, as well as Helsingin Sanomat's talk of the far right. Rostila found the reporting to be contradictory. https://t.co/rgtFE1A7ox #Ranska #Mellakat #Politiikka (translated)

Joakim Vigelius referred to the riots in France and recalled the parliamentary speech of SDP's Tytti Tuppurainen from a couple of years ago. According to him, Tuppurainen had said that France had welcomed immigration from almost all over the world but would still remain France. Vigelius observed that the riots over the weekend showed how much France had changed. He wrote that young men of immigrant backgrounds had looted and destroyed property, set buildings on fire, and violently resisted authorities. He reported that the riots had led to over 2,000 arrests and a thousand policemen being injured. According to Vigelius, France was still France, but no longer the same as it used to be. He described the nation's national pride and homogeneous culture as being under pressure due to tensions and unrest from ethnic parallel societies. He assessed that even a small incident in France or elsewhere could trigger a wave of violence and destruction. Vigelius regarded France as one of Europe's most cautionary examples and questioned whether it was time to acknowledge that, in his view, immigration was permanently and irreversibly destabilizing societies. #Ranska #maahanmuutto #yhteiskunta (translated)

Jari Sarasvuo criticized Heidi Hagelin's comment and described it as lacking in an understanding of reality. According to him, every sentence of the comment was wrong, and he questioned how such actions could build a better future and society. Sarasvuo wrote that there had been violent riots in France, businesses had been looted, and buildings burned practically every year. He mentioned that he had requested a list starting from 2005 and assessed that the situation had worsened in the last 10 years. According to him, those participating in the riots largely lived on the funds of current and future taxpayers. Sarasvuo stated that violence, terrorism, and looting could not be justified by the fact that people who could pay taxes were not being forced to pay even more for unearned benefits. He also claimed that the far left had initially taken student protests organized for legitimate reasons and turned them to political use, and that there was plenty of information available on the subject. In the end, Sarasvuo expressed disappointment in Hagelin and thanked her for the good moments shared together. #Ranska #mellakka #yhteiskunta (translated)

The author of the entry criticized Karol Nawrocki for selectively referencing the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and accused him and Bogucki of omitting provisions related to international law. He pointed to articles 87, 9, 90, and 91, which—he wrote—are significant for understanding the sources of law and Poland's obligations. The author argued that Article 87 defines the sources of law, not the institutions authorized to interpret it. He also noted that the opinions of the Venice Commission are not legally binding, whereas the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights and the rulings of the Court of Justice of the EU are subject to different principles arising from Poland's treaty obligations. He reminded that according to Article 126, paragraph 2, Nawrocki, while performing the duties of the President of the Republic of Poland, was to ensure compliance with the Constitution. He accused him of undermining the integrity of fulfilling this duty by omitting parts of its provisions. #KonstytucjaRP #Prawo #Polska (translated)

Vít Rakušan stated that ANO has not learned from the mistakes that led to the catastrophic result in the last elections and instead of changing direction, it has accelerated. According to him, the nationalization of public media will not bring anything to the people in the Czech Republic and will harm what is working. Rakušan said that his party wants to prevent this step while also proposing measures to ensure safety, dignified pensions, affordable housing, and assistance for people in need. He added that it will become clear which of these approaches will be more effective. #politika #Česko #demokracie (translated)
