Tanja Aidanjuuri wrote that the National Coalition Party and the left supported an increase in foreign labor, but according to her, only the Finns Party talked about what kind of labor markets would be built at the same time. Aidanjuuri reported that the Construction Union had announced that 30 fake entrepreneurs had been uncovered at a state-commissioned school construction site in Helsinki. According to her, labor rights had gone unchecked, wages had been paid below the collective agreements, and overtime and Sunday compensations had been left unpaid. She claimed that an individual worker could be missing about 1,500 euros from their salary per month. Aidanjuuri said that one of the companies operating on the construction site was managed from a prison in Estonia, and that according to an STT investigation, the company's trail led to organized crime in Estonia. She also criticized the expensive projects in cities, citing the Vantaa tram as an example. According to Aidanjuuri, the projects were justified by the promise of new jobs in the construction sector, but cheap labor was used on the jobs and they did not employ Finns. Aidanjuuri reported that authorities had conducted a total of 1,817 inspections of companies using foreign labor in 2025 and had filed 60 preliminary investigation reports against employers for the unauthorized use of foreign labor. She stated that authorities had assessed that bogus and forced entrepreneurship had become widespread, especially in the construction sector, and was part of labor-related exploitation. According to Aidanjuuri, exploitation harmed foreign workers, put honest Finnish companies in an unfair competitive position, and forced Finnish workers to compete for jobs under conditions that could not be met by adhering to Finnish labor standards. She considered it particularly serious that this occurred on a state construction site and deemed the discussion of increasing foreign labor without significantly stricter oversight irresponsible and detrimental to the labor conditions improvements advocated by unions. https://t.co/HXw2wzki3U #työvoima #rakennusala #työehdot (translated)

He also asked how many billionaires there were in Finland. #politiikka #Suomi #verotus (translated)

Binga Tupamäki wrote that the events in France were finally treated as riots rather than peaceful student protests, but he criticized the media coverage as still having a strange tone. According to him, Helsingin Sanomat suggested that the videos circulating from the riots promoted the far-right agenda and emphasized that the involvement of immigrants could not yet be confirmed. Tupamäki asked why the editorial teams were hesitant in this case, even though they had previously speculated on matters before official confirmations. He believed that comments from Donald Trump and Sebastian Tynkkynen should not become main news stories instead of the violence, and called for a deeper analysis of the causes and consequences of the events. According to Tupamäki, contemplating the connection between immigration failure and social unrest does not make a person far-right. He referred to the decades-long discussion in France about the segregation of suburbs and the problems of integration, and assessed that there were no common norms or respect in an increasingly unequal environment. He urged an examination of the role of the radical left and claimed that the streets of France were primarily places of rioting for the far left. Tupamäki mentioned that Greta Thunberg participated in the protest and praised students for rising against the system, even though he claimed there were no concrete demands. He assessed that the unrest was more related to revolutionary fantasies than to a shortage of teachers and budget cuts. According to Tupamäki, the rigid reporting by Helsingin Sanomat and other media ironically benefited the far-right: if people saw videos and heard that only far-right individuals thought about the conclusions drawn from them, they might begin to identify with it. He considered honest and fair reporting as a means to prevent radicalization. #Ranska #mellakat #media (translated)

The day's Bureaucrat wrote that he was sharing additional information about the editorial management's leftist backgrounds at Helsingin Sanomat, which several had requested according to him.

Mikko Vuorenpää wrote that he had gradually begun to doubt whether the principles of safer space were being followed in the protests in France, which the Left Alliance and the more aware people he described supported. https://t.co/daS5lluZ5D #Vasemmistoliitto #Mielenosoitukset #TurvallinenTila (translated)

Sammallahti wrote that the Finnish left, in his opinion, had remained silent about the riots in France. He claimed that masked antifascists had waved Palestinian flags, set major cities on fire, looted stores, and assaulted bystanders. Sammallahti assessed that the left's reaction would have been stronger if there had been features interpreted as right-wing in the riots. Sammallahti also claimed that in Finland, antifascist actors operated particularly under the protection of the Left Alliance and the Greens, and had organized events such as Kuokkavieraat, Smash ASEM, Kiakkovieraat, and Makasiinimellakat, as well as the Luokkaretki lähiöst linnaan event and the activities of Extinction Rebellion. According to him, the connections of far-left groups to current politics had not been investigated in Finland because there had been no lustration and the media had a sympathetic attitude towards the left. He added that leftist politicians had sometimes carried symbols of violent extremist groups and that some of the event organizers had advanced to influential political positions. Sammallahti hoped that leftist politicians would autonomously condemn the actions of their like-minded peers. He believed that the violence of the far-left should be prevented rather than understood, using soft and, if necessary, hard means. https://t.co/CXoRZ8GE6X https://t.co/YStFgDHL6U https://t.co/6EQpCOTZAo https://t.co/OOq0ayZ4Ou #vasemmisto #mellakat #antifasismi (translated)

The Day Bureaucrat wrote that Saska Saarikoski, the head of the editorial office of Helsingin Sanomat, had worked for five years at the Ydin magazine published by the Sadankomitea and Rauhanliitto, and previously at Ylioppilaslehti, which the author described as almost equally left-wing. According to the author, Esa Mäkinen, the development director of HS and a member of the editorial management team, had previously served as the editor-in-chief and worked at Kansan Uutiset as well as being the editor-in-chief of Ylioppilaslehti. He claimed that Mäkinen had been suspected in the Viestikoekeskus case of revealing state secrets but had avoided charges like editor-in-chief Kaius Niemi by remaining silent during the investigation's interrogations. The Day Bureaucrat described the HS editorial team as otherwise left-wing as well and noted that the backgrounds of Saarikoski and Mäkinen stood out particularly. According to him, other newspapers do not report on their backgrounds in communist media because about 80 percent of journalists were themselves left-wing and shared a similar value system and background. #media #journalismi #vasemmistolisuus (translated)

Matti Molari criticized the studio discussion as meandering and wrote that the far-right was included to balance the debate. He demanded the termination of Yle, considering it dangerous and harmful. Molari described Yle as an electoral influencer and a propaganda machine of the left. #Suomi #Vaalit #Politiikka (translated)

Matias Turkkila wrote that he found it strange that, according to him, HS did not strongly condemn the burning of cities and attacks on police. Instead, he said that HS criticized the conservative right, which opposed the attacks carried out by immigrants incited by the left. Turkkila asked why the media, in his opinion, no longer helped understand what was happening in the world. #media #Suomi #keskustelu (translated)

Miikka Landen wrote that the media's way of viewing the far right, for example in ties, animals, and The Lord of the Rings movies, was due to the same reason as the media's difficulty in using the term far left in connection with extreme violence. He claimed that the media is part of the left. https://t.co/MHkMS92tQO #media #äärioikeisto #politiikka (translated)
