Antti Häkkänen proposed changing the legislation so that property transactions threatening Finland's security could also be blocked in Åland. According to him, this was a matter of the security of the entire country, as properties could be used for hostile actions against Finland, and it was necessary to be able to intervene in such attempts. https://t.co/urt3rXZv2q #Suomi #turvallisuus #kiinteistökauppa (translated)

According to Antti Häkkänen, active international support had been built for the TNT factory in Finland, and the work had started to produce results. He reported that nearly 20 million euros of support from the United States had previously been announced for the project and that the EU had now granted it 30 million euros. According to Häkkänen, the project increased domestic defense industry and strengthened supply security. #huoltovarmuus https://t.co/oESsZEg0GA #puolustusteollisuus #kansainvälinen #tuki (translated)

Mikko questioned whether coming to study in Finland could be financially viable if it equals 100 months' net salary. He wrote that a middle-aged student living in Espoo from Sri Lanka had paid 12,000 euros for the opportunity to study in Finland without any grants. According to Mikko, the average monthly earnings in Sri Lanka were 125 euros, so he believed it would not be worthwhile for the student to return to their home country for work. Mikko compared this amount to the situation where he himself would pay 300,000 euros to study for a couple of years in the United States. He doubted that training to become sufficiently good at a job in a few years would make the investment worthwhile, especially if the money had been borrowed with interest. https://t.co/yttO6zqpcg #Opiskelu #Koulutus #Maahanmuutto (translated)

Yaron Nadbornik criticized Heikki Hiilamo's column published in Yleisradio, stating that it presented a one-sided image connecting the actions of Israel's leadership, Finnish Christian groups, and Minister Antti Häkkänen's visit to the structures of oppression. Nadbornik argued that the column's treatment of Israel and Zionism made Jews collectively responsible and expanded the criticism to also include Israel's supporters and Jews in general. According to Nadbornik, Hiilamo's text divided the parties into white and Christian oppressors and non-white and Muslim victims. He said this framing overlooked the Jewish roots, history, and vulnerability in the Middle East, as well as the fact that millions of people from various backgrounds lived in Israel. He also believed that the framework wrongly fit the conflict into a narrative of Western colonialism and racism and presented Israel as a refuge for a people without another homeland. Nadbornik wrote that the prejudices against Jews were based on their otherness. He noted that studies had shown that Jews living in the diaspora were unjustly held accountable for the actions of the state of Israel. He argued that Hiilamo's rhetoric, which connected Christian groups and ministerial visits with the suffering in Gaza, reinforced this framework. Nadbornik recalled the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, describing it as a massacre involving rapes, mutilations, and the abduction of civilians, including babies, festival-goers, and the elderly, into Israel. He called it the largest single act of violence against Jews since the Holocaust. According to Nadbornik, Hiilamo overlooked the fact that Hamas and Hezbollah openly sought the destruction of Israel in connection with Israel's military actions. He believed that framing the terror attack merely as a security threat or comparing it to Russia's invasion of Ukraine ignored the rights of Israeli citizens to exist and be protected. https://t.co/PFvBFdaoiQ #Israel #Juutalaiset #Rasismi (translated)

Henri Vanhanen wrote that the head of Germany's foreign intelligence had warned that Russia was waging a shadow war against Germany. According to him, the head of Germany's domestic intelligence had said that Russia was preparing sabotage and even assassinations on German territory. Vanhanen assessed that in Finland, it was sometimes assumed that Russian intelligence activities had some sort of invisible boundary of politeness that would prevent actions at people's doorsteps or overly brazen acts. He wrote that, in his opinion, Russian intelligence services did not operate according to the boundaries that Finns consider acceptable, but rather based on what works and where they are given space. According to Vanhanen, naivety was not a strong security policy. https://t.co/gjetkWxfTV #Venäjä #tiedustelu #turvallisuuspolitiikka (translated)
