Keijo Kaarisade wrote that when condemning the oppression of women, it was agreed, in his opinion, to speak vaguely about religions and cultures without referring to Islam. He criticized that a member of the National Coalition Party had been assigned to the matter and they themselves had followed along, and said that he would have to explain the issue to the imam again with Petteri. https://t.co/bbPqxHiqBm #naistenoikeudet #uskonto #kulttuuri (translated)

Mika Merano wrote that it was not about class but corruption. He claimed that Members of Parliament, other significant and former politicians, and their close circles received rewards on the boards of associations funded by tax money or directed funds to their own projects. According to Merano, organizational subsidies and, for example, the funds used for Garden Helsinki were taken from elsewhere and were also reflected in the support received by poor families living on subsidies. He accused politicians of pursuing their own and their close circles' interests and expressed his anger towards such activities. #korruptio #politiikka #veronmaksajat (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)

According to the author, peace had become a side issue in the negotiations about Ukraine, and what was central was the United States' share of Russian energy. He estimated that the negotiations would not lead to a lasting peace.

Juho Hirvelä wrote that, in his opinion, the use of Bovaer continued in Denmark and many wanted to know the status of the substance in Finland. He referred to a news article published by Yle in February 2026, which stated that Valio had suspended the trial of the Bovaer feed additive. According to Hirvelä, Valio stated at that time that the reason for the suspension was the reassessment of the substance initiated by the European Food Safety Authority, EFSA. Hirvelä mentioned that he had asked Valio whether Bovaer was still under trial or if the company was planning to restart the trial. He also inquired whether Valio had considered replacing the substance with another feed additive and whether new information had been obtained from EFSA's investigation. Hirvelä said he would return to the matter once Valio responded. #Bovaer #Elintarviketurvallisuus #Tanska (translated)

Alpo Rusi wrote that Finland fought alongside Germany as a co-combatant in its own cause from 1941 to 1944 and also mentioned our country's Jews.

Tuulia Alanko wrote that many others besides traditional supporters of the Finns Party had also expressed similar views, in her opinion. She praised Riikka and the Finns Party ministers for their responsibility and ability to implement. Alanko stated that the Finns Party, according to her, did not want to serve the elite or accept unrestricted use of taxpayers' money. She criticized the Social Democrats for their talk about civil society and believed that climate actions alone did not address the challenges related to immigration or hybrid operations. Alanko described the Minister of the Interior as having acted to reform immigration policy and demanded changes to open invitations for immigration and the granting of citizenship. She also praised the Finns Party Minister of Justice for changing the line on criminal law and tightening penalties, even though, according to her, he had been criticized for populism. Alanko wrote that neither Riikka nor other members of the Finns Party should change their positions to please everyone. She believed the party would maintain its stance despite red-green criticism and pressure, describing the Finns Party as a caretaker party. #persut #poliitika #Suomi (translated)

Arto Koskelo pondered what kind of right-wing politics a blue-red government coalition would produce, as he believed that the state budget had been prioritized over the voters' economy during this term as well. He questioned the consideration of a blue-red coalition and sharply rejected the idea in his message directed at the National Coalition Party. #oikeistopolitiikka #budjetti #kokoomus (translated)

Dividend King provided an update on the amendments concerning investors and entrepreneurs reviewed by the finance committee as part of the 2027 budget. He indicated that nearly all proposals aimed at increasing the flat tax had been rejected, such as the proposals to abolish the single flat-rate tax. A final amendment was supposed to be submitted for a vote that very day, but it had little chance of being adopted. According to his report, the committee had rejected all amendments aimed at tightening the Exit Tax, particularly those seeking to extend its duration from 2 to 15 years. However, it had adopted proposals to include portfolios of cryptocurrencies exceeding €800,000 in this scheme, to tax capital gains realized during conversions into stablecoins, and to impose a declaration to the tax authorities for self-hosted crypto portfolios of at least €100,000. Failure to declare could result in a fine of up to €10,000, he specified. Dividend King also stated that an amendment aimed at extending the 2% tax on holdings to financial investments had been withdrawn and that amendment I-CF1440, which proposed to abolish the tax on certain non-professional assets of wealth management holdings, had not been supported. He added that the amendment on contribution-disposition put forward by the general budget rapporteur, Philippe Juvin, had been adopted. This included stricter controls on donations of holding shares and changes to the taxation deferral regime, with transitional provisions for contributions made before October 7, 2026. The author believed that cryptocurrency holders were, at this stage, the main losers. He emphasized, however, that these results only concerned the finance committee and that the amendments still needed to be examined in a public session. He also reminded that amendments rejected in committee could return during debates and that the government could have its original version of the budget adopted through Article 49.3 or through ordinances. #Budget2027 #Cryptomonnaies #Finances (translated)

Samuli Katainen described the parking fee as an example of the institutionalization of politicians. According to him, a €3.50 hourly charge could mean a weekly cost of €280, so he believed it was foreseeable that someone would have to pay that amount. Katainen wrote that this could have been deduced through multiplication. https://t.co/QQAkBOUGQx #politiikka #pysäköinti #kustannukset (translated)

The author wrote that Starlink was becoming a mobile operator likely to offer global coverage.

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)
