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)

OsakeKeisari wrote that Jari Sarasvuo assessed that Finland needed more successful companies and entrepreneurs.

Henri Vanhanen warned about Finland's security and wrote that according to Denmark's Security and Intelligence Service PET, Russia had begun sabotage operations against Danish defense companies. According to him, companies supplying weapons and equipment to Ukraine were particularly targeted. Vanhanen stated that PET assessed that Moscow had aimed to reduce European support for Ukraine through intimidation and harassment and was now trying to harm weapons production and supply chains. Vanhanen wrote that perpetrators of the strikes were recruited via social media and were first paid for photographing and gathering intelligence on targets, and later for sabotage. According to him, this allowed operations without the direct involvement of Russian intelligence officers. He warned that Russia aimed to extend the effects of the war to NATO countries and also assessed that Finland's defense industry's production facilities, subcontractors, personnel, and supply chains could be targets. Vanhanen believed that protecting them required cooperation between companies and authorities, and urged NATO to assess when individual sabotage attacks would constitute a systematic campaign against the alliance's defense capability. https://t.co/CgjnDAjDhY #Turvallisuus #Ukraina #Venäjä (translated)

Juho Salo criticized Finland's pension system and wrote that if the retirement age were to be raised, it could, in his opinion, be increased all at once to 100 years. He argued that in the system, a worker could pay pension contributions for 50 years, which would correspond to 25 percent of their salary, and receive a pension only at the age of 74. Salo pointed out that, according to him, pension accrual could not be collected. Salo called the system an economic catastrophe. He calculated the total amount of pension contributions and other shares to be 33.7 billion euros: 28.2 billion for occupational pensions, 0.7 billion for employees' shares, and 4.8 billion euros for state contributions. According to him, this amount could be used to pay a monthly basic income of 656 euros in addition to current social benefits and wages without tax increases. He compared the current system to a model where the retirement age would be 50 years and the pension would be 900–1,100 euros per month. Salo believed that money available earlier could be invested by individuals. He also criticized that those born before 1964 would receive the promised pension, while later generations would be left with the bill. Salo proposed that an investment of about 800 euros per month for 25 years would accumulate 240,000 euros without returns and over a million euros with investment returns. He related his comparison to the MSCI World index for the years 2001-2026 and said that wealth would remain for inheritance if 3-4 percent was withdrawn annually. According to him, such a system could make Finnish workers millionaires by the age of 50-60 and free up jobs sooner. Additionally, Salo criticized trade unions for not organizing strikes against pension contributions, development aid, and financing immigration, in his view. He compared the pension system to economic development aid and described it as an even worse solution. #eläke #perustulo #kansantalous (translated)

The author wondered about the proposal to abolish home care allowances and stated that the Ministry of Finance's report indicated that the change would increase expenses by over 100 million euros per year, as municipal daycare would cost many times more. According to him, the root cause of the sustainability gap in the economy was low birth rates, and he urged prioritizing the best interests of the child. https://t.co/Qr864XkLl9 #kotihoidontuki #lapsekasvatus #sosiaalipolitiikka #FI (translated)

Juha Merentie wrote that AfD no longer demanded the dissolution of the EU, but wanted to reform it into a union of sovereign nations. According to him, the party wanted the EU to focus on the internal market, the protection of external borders, security issues, and selected technological projects, as well as to restore national decision-making power in immigration, social, and financial policies. Merentie concluded by asking what else they could hope for. #EU #politiikka #maahanmuutto (translated)

Jari Sarasvuo wrote that wealthier nations received, according to him, income transfers for their pensions and home renovations.
