As a former member of the National Coalition Party, Elina Ketonen wrote that she had been following the party's change in immigration policy with interest. She noted that in a recent poll by Yle, the National Coalition Party had fallen behind the Finns Party, and the party's parliamentary group had presented a strict immigration line. According to Ketonen, this was about the parliamentary group's program, not a directive approved by the party congress. She wrote that the program would not bind the next government nor guarantee concrete decisions during the next term. Ketonen interpreted the shift in line primarily as a bid for votes and assessed that the rhetoric would harden as support weakened. In her view, credibility stemmed from consistent actions, and voters had the right to ask whether the National Coalition Party's line had truly changed or if only the campaign speeches had changed. #maahanmuutto #politiikka #keskustelu (translated)

Petra Nyqvist wondered whether the previously expressed division by the Finns Party that led to the party's split into the "nasty" and "blue" factions had also spread to the National Coalition Party. According to her, there seemed to be an attempt to oust cultured bourgeois values from the party. Nyqvist questioned what the point would be in having two right-wing parties that are both "nasty," which would share core ideas of opposing immigration and attitudes towards racism. She doubted whether there would be enough anti-foreigner voters for two large parties, which she described as being empty in content. #politiikka #maahanmuutto #rasismi (translated)

Roni Arvonen wrote that the National Coalition Party suffered from a support panic and, according to him, tried to attract support from the Finns Party in the polls by talking about tightening immigration. He claimed that the party had not done anything concrete about the issue and described its statements as cheap. Arvonen urged to avoid an electoral trap. #politiikka #maahanmuutto #vaalit (translated)

Petteri Tarkkonen wrote that the National Coalition Party had practically functioned as a right-wing party for decades while the Finns Party focused on immigration. According to him, under Riikka Purra's leadership, the Finns Party had become the leading economic party, making it a more acceptable alternative for traditional National Coalition voters. Tarkkonen assessed that the Finns Party also did not have the traditional burdens like political appointments or Yle that the National Coalition Party faced. Tarkkonen claimed that the media had sought to present the Finns Party as merely a racist party and create the impression that voting for the party would make the voter a racist. He believed that the media also aimed to wedge between the National Coalition Party and the Finns Party but assessed that social media, especially X, was rejecting this narrative. He predicted that the 2027 elections would be a turning point in Finnish history. According to Tarkkonen, the National Coalition Party ending up in a left-wing government would lead to a development similar to that of the Centre Party, and cooperation between the National Coalition Party and the left would remain a matter of distributive politics. He also estimated that the legacy of a red-green government would be similar to that of Sanna Marin's government. Tarkkonen appealed to the National Coalition Party and Petteri Orpo to abandon the best-hope politics he described and not to turn the party into an economic-democratic entity. According to him, the traditional National Coalition voter would not vote for the Social Democrats. #Politiikka #Kokoomus #Persut (translated)

Tuomo Saarni wrote that Satosi had become aware of the situation but denied the existence of a privileged elite. Saarni asked what changing the situation would require and claimed that the National Coalition Party was within the influence of the elite, which is why the Finns Party could not change things alone. He also assessed that the left-wing parties would not cut their own benefits and wrote that the IMF could possibly be necessary. #Politiikka #Suomi #IMF (translated)

Martti Kosonen wrote that, in his opinion, there was only one reason for concealing the use of tax funds: It was known at Yle that its way of using taxpayers' money could not withstand public scrutiny. He noted the Finns Party and the National Coalition Party in the publication. https://t.co/F2Mojh1OhA #verot #julkisuus #politiikka (translated)

Jani Kärkkäinen said he voted for the Finns Party in the last elections and is satisfied with his choice. He stated that he voted for Jussi Halla-aho in the parliamentary and presidential elections, Sebastian Tynkkynen in the European elections, and Mika Merano in the municipal elections. Kärkkäinen mentioned that he had previously voted for the National Coalition Party, except for an exception he made in his youth when he voted for Tarja Halonen as president. He apologized for this. #vaalit #Suomi #politiikka (translated)

Tuulia Alanko criticized the actions of the National Coalition Party and called its stance contradictory. According to her, a Coalition minister had suggested that a ban on social media would stop rapes committed by immigrants and described members of the Finns Party as incapable of understanding this. Alanko stated that the Finns Party, on the other hand, wanted to limit immigration. Alanko claimed that a Coalition influencer had tried to shift the blame for not making Tiitinen's list public onto Rantanen while simultaneously accusing the Finns Party of opposing all things good and beautiful. She criticized the influencer for being unable to assess the actions of their own party and wondered whether voters had expected more from the Coalition. According to Alanko, the Coalition had blamed the Finns Party for the failure of the fuel issue the next day, even though the Prime Minister had promised to explore all options. She also wrote that the Coalition had complained about their government partner putting obstacles in their way and concluded that the party’s optimism campaign had produced optimists. #Kokoomus #Politiikka #Maahanmuutto (translated)

Sebastian Tynkkynen wrote to Karoliina Partanen, the National Coalition Party, and the Finns Party that their support declined because they did not agree to the proposals from the Finns Party. According to him, support would not increase by criticizing the Finns Party, as the issues they forcibly pushed through did not progress. Tynkkynen said they were needed in the next right-wing government and urged them to stop the panicked chaos. #politiikka #kokoomus #persut (translated)

A-J Hirsimäki asked Karoliina Parta from the National Coalition Party and the Finns Party if anyone still believed in the explanations from the National Coalition Party. He considered it a good thing that the National Coalition Party had challenged the Finns Party by disclosing internal matters of the government. According to him, this would give the Finns Party the opportunity to start their own struggle, in which the National Coalition Party would come second. #politiikka #suomi #vaalit (translated)

Elma Goltz wrote to Karoliina Parta1, the National Coalition Party, and the Finns Party that the National Coalition Party blamed the Finns Party. She claimed that the National Coalition Party had constantly opposed price reductions and said there was evidence of this. Goltz urged not to lie and hoped that more people would leave the National Coalition Party who would remain true to the truth, in her opinion. She added that one would not get far by lying. #politiikka #Suomi #valehtelu (translated)

Jari Mäki-Runsas asked Karoliina Parta from the National Coalition Party and the Finns Party whether they should direct their bravado towards left-wing parties instead of another market economy party. He assessed that their actions began to resemble those of the Social Democrats. #politiikka #Suomi #puolueet (translated)

Pekka Aittakumpu asked Karoliina Parta if the distribution obligation could now be lowered by the Coalition Party and the Finns Party. He said that his group would have lowered fuel prices already in the spring, but the opposing side had not accepted it. Aittakumpu also claimed that the opposing side's message did not get through and noted that it received four likes, which he assumed came from political supporters. #politiikka #Suomi #polttoaineet (translated)

Katriina Reponen expressed her support for Elina Hiltunen and JukMantu.

Tuomo Saarni asked the True Finns and the National Coalition Party whether this was a proposal that had taken three and a half years to refine. He mentioned that he was desperate about the actions of the right-wing parties and claimed that even a shouting vote held in X would produce better laws. Saarni urged the parties to be ashamed and added that, in his opinion, they would not know how to do that. https://t.co/RjxK41JfOx #politiikka #Suomi #kansalaiset (translated)

Joakim Vigelius said he participated in the True Finns' tent at the Tampere Hämeenkatu Appro, where the party was, according to him, involved for the fourth time. He mentioned that sausages and overalls badges were distributed at the tent and that politics was discussed. According to Vigelius, students specifically talked about the upcoming parliamentary elections and the rise in the True Finns' poll support. He reported that students encouraged the party to continue on the same path and opposed the return of the left to power. During the three hours at the tent, Vigelius noted that there were a few boos directed at the party, but in his estimation, there was at least one hundred times more encouragement, supportive messages, and joint photos taken. He thanked the students for their support and said it helped him continue his work for the good of Finland. #Opiskelijat #Politiikka #Tampere (translated)
