Sture Fjäder wrote that Finland should move to a stricter social security system for immigrants and limit social security only to Finnish citizens. According to him, benefits should also be tightened for citizens. Fjäder estimated that the removal or tightening of social security for immigrants would at least end immigration based on social security and dealings with Kela for the purpose he described. #maahanmuutto https://t.co/uEElXGJt1e #maahanmuutto #sosiaaliturva #Suomi (translated)

Lucia-pulla wrote that one of the most absurd cases in the discussion related to immigration and multiculturalism was that prisoners were served mousse for dessert, the gelatin of which, according to her, they were unaware of. She mentioned that gelatin was a problem because it is made from pig parts and eating pork is haram. She described an example of a foreign prisoner convicted of serious crimes who would be offered dessert and then apologized to for its contradiction with his religious beliefs. Lucia-pulla asked how self-destructive the country could become. #suicidalempathy #maahanmuutto #monikulttuurisuus #uskonto (translated)

Jocka Träskbäck praised Suvi-Anne Siimes's economic views and straightforwardness. He wrote that it would have been difficult to imagine 20 years earlier that the then-Member of Parliament and chair of the Left Alliance would present such views. Träskbäck described Siimes, for example, regarding how understanding of the national economy can deepen, in his opinion, when one engages with it in ways other than through the employment office and Kela. He noted that the article had already been published on March 10, 2026, but the topic was still relevant. https://t.co/poiWbvZ4lq #Suomi #politikka #talous (translated)

Starting from November, Kela will change the maximum amount of basic ointments that can be reimbursed at one time, so that customers can purchase up to 1,000 grams or milliliters of the same preparation at once, whereas the current limit is 4,500 grams. #Kela #perusvoiteet #ihotaudit (translated)

Petra Nyqvist criticized Wille Rydman's desire to abandon the maternity package. According to her, Rydman justified his stance by saying that in his family, they bought used, high-quality baby clothes. Nyqvist found the idea elitist and argued that it did not take into account all starting situations. Nyqvist wrote that the cardboard box bed was still necessary because some mothers started in situations where they had nothing. She added that sometimes young girls had been led into this situation without the child's father taking responsibility, describing it as grooming. According to Nyqvist, Rydman criticized the new Chinese ball, even though his own government wanted it. She believed that the acquisition method of Kela should be changed if it did not favor domestic products. Nyqvist defended the maternity package as a concept admired worldwide and stated that she wanted to participate in its funding through her taxes, even though she had no children. In her opinion, it would help young people cope with the challenges of baby life even when there was no support network. #äitiyspakkaus #vauvahuoltaja #perhe (translated)

Kristina Kivinen wrote that the president of Somalia had welcomed Somalis to Somalia. She estimated that dual citizens would integrate there better than in Finland and justified this with religion, Sharia law, and language. According to Kivinen, there would be no racism, True Finns, snow, winter, or dogs in Somalia, but Kela benefits would be lacking. #Somalia #Kansalaisuus #Integraatio (translated)

Jari Mäkäräinen criticized an article in Helsingin Sanomat and said he had made corrections to it. According to him, the nonfiction writer Ari Haasio and Mattila had suggested that Finnish identity was ambiguous, compared the mistrust faced by evacuees from Karelia to current fears directed at Muslims, and stated that everyone was a descendant of immigrants. Mäkäräinen wrote that migration was an old phenomenon, but migrations from different times could not be equated. He noted that the first people arrived in what is now Finland about 11,000 years ago and believed that this did not provide a basis for equating the current migration from Afghanistan or Somalia with the arrivals of earlier traders, craftsmen, or industrial founders. He described Finlayson as an actor that built factories in capital-poor Finland, brought technology, and created jobs. Mäkäräinen compared him to a Mohammed coming from Somalia, who he described as illiterate and dependent on Kela support. He believed these examples illustrated different types of migration and claimed that there were differences in education, employment, cultural distance, and criminality. He also claimed that those coming from Afghanistan were overrepresented in rape statistics. Regarding the evacuees from Karelia, Mäkäräinen wrote that they had come from within Finland, spoke Finnish, and shared key features of Finnish culture. He said they had faced mistrust and derogatory name-calling, but believed they differed from current arrivals from Afghanistan, for example, in terms of adaptation, work ethic, and use of social security. Mäkäräinen also denied the comparison made by Haasio and Mattila between 19th-century antisemitism and the Somali discussions of the 1990s. According to him, the groups were not similar, and Jews had mostly integrated well. He argued that current migrations should be evaluated based on their impacts on employment, crime, and social security. Finally, he wrote that the continuity of society required, in his opinion, the adaptation of newcomers. #maahanmuutto #suomalaisuus #kulttuuri (translated)

Roni Arvonen wrote that decision-makers would prefer to raise the retirement age of working Finns rather than cut development aid or Kela benefits for immigrants. He estimated that the patience of ordinary working Finns regarding such spending would run out at some point. #eläkkeet #kehitysapu #maahanmuutto (translated)

Jari Sarasvuo asked whether citizens should get their affairs in order before someone arrives as a savior with an axe. He warned that the ride would be cold if the Kela reimbursements for medications disappeared at the same time as pensions were cut. #Sosiaalipolitiikka #Terveys #Eläke (translated)

Sture Fjäder wrote that the situation in Puho was similar ten years earlier and, according to him, continues to this day and into the future. He claimed, referring to Kela's statistics, that over half of the immigrants living in the Helsinki metropolitan area were on social assistance, housing assistance, and other benefits. #maahanmuutto https://t.co/qn9Wgb7OIa #maahanmuutto #Suomi #Pääkaupunkiseutu (translated)

Sture Fjäder wrote to Jenny Kasongo that, according to him, the government had not taken anyone's own income or money, but had paid somewhat less in Kela benefits, housing support, and social assistance. He noted that the benefits are financed by taxpayers and mentioned that he had attached a picture of who receives and who pays. #kela https://t.co/Nie3wnLItV #Kela #verot #sosiaaliturva (translated)

Marjut Lehtinen suggested exploring whether immigrants or others who received Kela assistance in Finland sent their funds abroad. She wrote that the issue had been discussed publicly several times and that it affected a larger group of people than just those on a national pension. Lehtinen addressed her message to Mari. https://t.co/RYmvu2gZwK #maahanmuutto #Kela #Suomi (translated)

Klaus wrote that according to the data from Kela, about half of Arabic and Somali speakers received social assistance, while the proportion among Finnish speakers was about 4.5 percent.
