Mika Merano announced that he will be a candidate for the Finns Party in the upcoming spring parliamentary elections in the Uusimaa electoral district. He named his main themes as fighting corruption, reforming the use of tax funds, and strengthening the status of the Finnish language and Finnish culture. Merano opposed, among other things, the dual roles of politicians in organizations, political appointments, and directing tax funds to the close circles of politicians. He demanded public impact reports on taxpayer-funded projects and believed that tax funds should benefit Finnish taxpayers. He also opposed development aid, projects that he described as ideological, and unprofitable EU funding requests. In language policy, Merano opposed mandatory Swedish and multiculturalism, which he viewed as narrowing Finnish traditions. He supported a unilingual Finland, conducting business in one's native language, and preserving Finnish cultural heritage. He also suggested that cuts affecting citizens should be made only as a last resort. Merano asked people to spread the word about his candidacy, to join his campaign team, or to support his campaign. He stated that donations would go to the Mika Merano Support Association and would be used entirely for the campaign. According to him, donations could be made via MobilePay to the number 47188 or to the association's account FI19 8146 9710 4278 49. He mentioned that the names of donors contributing at least 1,500 euros would be public. The campaign manager, according to Merano, is marketing professional and Kouvola city councilor Suvi Karell, who coordinates the campaign work. #Suomi #Eduskuntavaalit #Perussuomalaiset (translated)

Jussi Mäkinen wrote that Finnish immigration discussion, in his experience, had focused on the need for workers in low-paying jobs and funding for the pension system. He criticized that councilor Meri was condemned for speaking about what she thought. Mäkinen also pondered whether conclusions could be drawn from the names of those accepted into the Swedish-speaking medical faculty. Mäkinen criticized Marin's government's decision to raise the compulsory schooling age to 18. According to him, the reform had provided state-funded textbooks and school transportation for upper middle-class high school students, but at the same time enrolled youths in education who might not attend classes. He mentioned hearing from acquaintances in vocational schools in the capital region that, for example, selected students in electrical studies had not showed up for school even after the second academic year had started. Mäkinen also claimed that educational institutions received funding based on the names on student lists, even if the student did not show up. Mäkinen wrote that the proportion of those completing secondary education had risen from about 77.9 percent to 79.4 percent among those young people who turned 20 by the spring of that year. He challenged Meri to publish a positive update when the students on the list would have graduated. Mäkinen estimated that nearly 90 percent of those accepted to high school had Finnish backgrounds and nearly 90 percent of those accepted to vocational schools had immigrant backgrounds. He also shared that his friend, a Master's degree holder in business sciences who had come to Finland as a refugee from Kosovo, had said that they had learned better Finnish on a football team than in a classroom with immigrant-background students. Finally, Mäkinen reminded of a previous discussion where it was deemed important to transfer Finnish children from their local school to a school where the majority of students belonged to the S2 language group. He wrote that the backgrounds of the names on vocational school student lists could not yet be discussed. #maahanmuutto #koulutus #suomi (translated)

Otto Juote wrote that the citizenship test assesses whether an applicant for citizenship other than Finnish has sufficient knowledge and skills to obtain citizenship if other conditions are met. He suggested that anyone could perhaps become a Kurd, but Finns are a people, and a passport or language skills alone do not make a person Finnish. #kansalaisuus #Suomi #monikulttuurisuus (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)

Lucia-pulla stated that she had posed several questions to Said Awmuss, to which she had not received answers. She had asked, among other things, what kinds of hobbies Muslim girls could engage in and whether twerking, hip-hop, and ballet were acceptable. Additionally, she inquired about the attitude towards dating a Finnish Christian, marrying a Jew or a Hindu, and the Muslim Brotherhood. On the day of Aleksis Kivi and Finnish literature, Lucia-pulla asked what the Finnish language, literature, and culture meant to Said Awmuss, and urged him to discuss it with her. She also wrote that Islam was not a race or ethnicity but a religion or ideology, and considered discussing racism in this context misleading. According to her, no one is born a Muslim. #uskonto #kulttuuri #kysymykset (translated)

Mika Merano wrote that he fundamentally believes it is wrong to think that the state owns children. According to him, the consequences of multiculturalism and inclusion particularly impact the children of families who cannot afford to choose. Merano said he understands the attractiveness of homeschooling if the alternative is a school that he described as having been proven excellent using Adlercreutz's observation method, but where instead of a peaceful learning environment and discipline there is language incompetence and restlessness. He compared the situation to those schools that students who experienced the peak years of PISA results remember. (translated)

Development aid does not become more effective by simply changing the words. Developing countries do not improve by changing the words. Even in our own country, someone decided to start calling immigrants from developing countries relying on the social security system as top talents. But no, that didn't work either. Empirically verifiable facts cannot be changed by beautifying the language – although a significant part of the left's energy seems to be spent on that nowadays, playing with words. #kehitysapu #maahanmuuttajat #sosiaalisetasiat (translated)

Pani Prezes Katarzyna Kieli poleciała do USA przedstawić się nowemu właścicielowi. I utknęła w sekretariacie. Każdy, kto pracował w dużej korporacji, wie, co to znaczy. Nie trzeba cię zwalniać. Nie trzeba nawet z tobą rozmawiać. Wystarczy, że szef nie ma dla ciebie 15 minut. W korporacji wyroków się nie ogłasza. Po prostu utykasz w sekretariacie! #praca #korporacja #biznes
