Jesse Rauhamo wrote that a certain woman had demanded more reception centers in Finland, citing the global responsibility of Finns. According to Rauhamo, about 4.5 billion euros of taxpayers' money had been used for the operations of the Finnish Immigration Service and reception centers since 2015, which is 1,730 euros for every working Finn. He asked how much more Finns should pay to ensure that enough responsibility had been taken. #Suomi #maahanmuutto #verotus (translated)

Tanja Aidanjuuri claimed that the National Coalition Party was in a hurry to present its own proposals, which, according to her, the Finns Party had been talking about from the beginning. She asked Antti Lindtman whether the National Coalition Party should now also be considered "as a non-acceptable racist party." Aidanjuuri wrote that in her opinion, Lindtman's party could not fit into the same government with the Finns Party, but the National Coalition Party ending up on the same line caused, in her assessment, a decrease in the number of Lindtman's supporters. https://t.co/7rEnmQ5SVK #politiikka #Suomi #valtio (translated)

Mats Uotila claimed that the justifications presented to the Italian press were noble, but in his opinion, Sanna Marin had left politics immediately after the lost parliamentary elections. According to Uotila, Marin betrayed her voters because Finns did not want her to continue as prime minister, and the role of a regular member of parliament was not acceptable to her. https://t.co/Z2Nxz4yHBE #poliikka #Suomi #vaalit (translated)

Maria Rautanen questioned the transportation of foreign waste to Finland for energy production. She referred to information from Kaleva, which indicated that nearly 50,000 tons of waste had been brought to Oulu for incineration at Oulu Energy and Syklon facilities since 2021. According to her, waste had even been transported from the outskirts of a landfill in Rome and from the shores of the Arctic Ocean. Rautanen wrote that according to Kaleva, nearly a third of the imports had occurred with figures that had been mistakenly approved by the Finnish Environment Institute. She demanded a transparent investigation into the permit errors. Rautanen criticized the downsizing of Finland's domestic energy production, particularly the reduction of peat use due to taxation and emissions trading costs. According to her, Finnish contractors and energy entrepreneurs had ceased operations, machines had been sold, and expertise in the sector was disappearing as energy was produced by importing waste from thousands of kilometers away. Rautanen called for open life cycle assessments to justify the import of foreign waste, taking into account transport by road and sea, combustion emissions, ash, waste impurities, and domestic fuels replaced by imported waste. She also demanded information about the quality of the waste brought to Finland, its monitoring, and the effects of combustion on flue gases, heavy metals, and fine particles. Rautanen believed that Finland's energy supply should fundamentally rely on domestic raw materials, local labor, and supply security. She found it difficult to accept that waste transported from Rome was used for energy production while the use of domestic peat had been reduced, and she questioned whether this constituted sensible circular economy practices. https://t.co/2CjRydkxAO #ilmasto #energia #kiertotalous (translated)

Otto Juote criticized the National Coalition Party for allegedly abandoning its values and becoming an assistant to the right-wing government. He wrote that disappointed voters were shifting to support the Left Alliance and the Social Democratic Party and questioned where the previously promised projects, such as Garden Helsinki, senior spa vouchers, and the sale of natural monopolies to international investors, had gone. Juote ironically described the National Coalition Party as a leftist social-liberal party, which in his view had previously supported, among other things, state-owned projects, service vouchers, increased immigration from developing countries, climate actions, and support packages. He claimed that the party had also held onto acquired benefits while it spoke of cuts and reducing debt. Additionally, Juote asked why discussions about entrepreneurship, economic growth, and warnings about right-wing policies seemed to have disappeared from the party. He wrote that Orpo's National Coalition Party no longer reflected the pragmatic interest group and system party that he had previously supported. Juote estimated that he would likely vote for a red tie-wearing socialist in the upcoming elections instead of a blue tie-wearing one for the first time. #Kokoomus #Vasemmistoliitto #Politiikka (translated)

Dennis Mitzner criticized Timo Stewart for suggesting that he believed Israel was an obstacle to the two-state solution. Mitzner argued that the Palestinians had not accepted Israel's state proposals in direct negotiations, the latest of which were the Camp David and Taba offers in 2000–2001, as well as Ehud Olmert's offers in 2008. He added that Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in 2005. According to Mitzner, the PLO's decades-old support for the two-state solution did not indicate that the Palestinians accepted Israel's existence as a Jewish state. Mitzner wrote that Stewart viewed the destruction of Hamas's ideology as unrealistic without killing all people. Mitzner interpreted this to mean that Stewart considered all Gazans as supporters of Hamas's ideology, but he himself said he would not go that far. He referred to Hamas's election in Gaza and claimed that no Gazan had attempted to help Israeli hostages in the past couple of years. Mitzner compared the situation to the Allies' victory over Nazism and the defeat of Japan, as well as the actions of the United Arab Emirates against the Muslim Brotherhood. He stated that the Western left should stop rewarding Palestinian violence and anti-Semitism. According to Mitzner, Stewart claimed that there was no Palestinian state because Israel occupied the territory and did not allow it to become independent. Mitzner denied this and described the area's history: according to him, it belonged to the British mandate from 1917 and prior to that to the Ottoman Empire. He wrote that the Arab leadership rejected the UN's 1947 partition plan, after which Jordan controlled the West Bank and Egypt controlled Gaza without establishing a Palestinian state. According to Mitzner, the territories came under Israeli control in the 1967 war, which Jordan, Egypt, and Syria initiated with the intent to destroy, and the Arab world's negative attitude towards Israel continued with the Khartoum resolution of the three no's. Mitzner claimed that Stewart ignored Palestinian actions and concluded by asking whether the dispute ultimately related to the fact that the opposing side was the Jewish state of Israel. #IsraelinVastaisetAsenteet #Palestiinalaiskysymys #KansainvälinenPolitiikka (translated)

Kaikki tietävät, että Palloliitto on vastustanut niin Venäjän kuin Valko-Venäjän osallistumista kisoihin, ovat ne sitten Fifan tai Uefan kisat.
