Additionally, he claimed that Finland's taxation is the highest in the world, that net debt is increasing by 13.5 billion euros per year, and that the public sector is the largest in Europe.

Tuulia Alanko wrote that the Central Alliance's student organization profile picture featured a trans pride flag and interpreted this as a sign that the organization wanted to position itself in support of Antti Lindtman. Alanko claimed that the organization had already been willing to support a red-green government during the previous electoral term, which she argued was tightening taxes on drivers and implementing ambitious climate policies at the expense of rural residents. Alanko assessed that there was division within the Central Alliance and pressure to support a leftist government even after the next elections. According to her, the party had abandoned traditional values related to home, religion, and patriotism and replaced them with identity politics and virtue signaling. She linked this to the Central Alliance students' reluctance to cooperate with the True Finns and wrote that her late Central Alliance grandfather would turn in his grave seeing what the party currently represented. #Keskusta #Suomi #Politiikka (translated)

Miko Bergbom wrote that the Green youth hoped for "free money" for immigrants and reminded that, according to him, this was taxpayer money. He stated that Finland could not afford the current situation and demanded a swift transition to a citizenship-based social security system. According to Bergbom, the welfare state was at risk if this was not done, as the money, in his view, was running out. Bergbom claimed that the share of immigrants in certain social benefits clearly exceeded their share of the population. He said that in the capital region, their share of the total amount of social assistance was already about 50 percent. He stated that this situation should raise concerns, but he opposed new unconditional benefits for immigrants proposed by the left. #maahanmuutto #sosiaaliturva #verotus (translated)

Hiltunen said that the use of over 500 million euros in annual cash flows was not transparent, and highlighted the argument against transparency as being the threat to freedom of speech.

He asked how much more Finns should pay to ensure that enough responsibility had been taken. #Suomi #maahanmuutto #verotus (translated)
