Korson Jussi I from Vantaa defender! wrote that France had granted 340,000 initial residence permits to the country in 2025. He asked why more people were being let into the country when, according to him, the current situation with schools was failing, fuel was depleting, and costs were rising. He wondered if this was a case of national suicide. #Ranska #maahanmuutto #kysymykset (translated)
Roni Arvonen wrote to Antti Kurvinen that he did not think he was necessarily the right person to mock others for not showing up, especially in the fuel debate. In the message, he also mentioned Yle News, Ville Valkonen, and the Finns Party. #Politiikka #Suomi #Bensa (translated)
Onni Rostila asked whether the coalition between the National Coalition Party and the Swedish People's Party had started leaking lies about the government's negotiations to the media and whether this possibly related to the feedback received about the fuel package. He assessed that this did not bode well for the latter part of the government term. #politiikka #hallitus #UudenmaanVaali (translated)
Harri Vuorenpää wrote that Yle Uutiset had not been in contact with him to get a representative from the Finns Party for the morning gas discussion, although it had been stated as such in the broadcast according to him. #uutiset #tieto #bensakeskustelu (translated)
Veli Karimies wrote that the fuel package reflected, according to him, how the National Coalition Party and the Swedish People's Party slowed down necessary decisions. He assessed that the outcome would be a very minor adjustment that would not help anyone but would secure the interests of the privileged elite. #politiikka #Suomi #Kokoomus (translated)
Veli Karimies claimed that the National Coalition Party was planning a very bad gasoline package in his opinion and pressured the Finns Party to accept it, as there were no other alternatives available. According to him, the National Coalition Party would later criticize the Finns Party for wanting a better package that would reduce the distribution obligation. #politiikka #Suomi #bensa (translated)
Elina Hiltunen asked whether the decision-makers had any means to lower gasoline prices, and wondered how the situation was possible. #bensanHinta #poliitika #suomi (translated)
A compromise was reached in the Bensakiistassa, but the Finns Party got angry when they had to bend behind the government's fuel package. #bensakiista #politiikka #perussuomalaiset (translated)
The Day's Bureaucrat wrote that the National Coalition Party had betrayed its voters when the party refused to cut the distribution obligation citing climate reasons. He questioned why they wouldn't abandon the obligation altogether, as according to him, Finland was apparently suffering from the most expensive gasoline on the planet. He also asked why Finland, which he described as the country with the most extreme conditions and longest distances in the EU, had to pay the highest mobility costs, even though residents of other countries needed cars less, according to him. #ilmasto #bensa #liikkuminen (translated)
Orpo said in public that the other parties had accepted the solution proposed by the National Coalition Party, but the Finns Party had not yet accepted it. Prime Minister Orpo announced earlier this week that the package amounts to 60 million euros. #polttoaineet #hallitus #bensakiista (translated)
Now there is good news in the sense that an agreement has been reached, Multala said. There is no room for large tax cuts. Other quick and impactful measures are not available right now, Minister Multala admitted at a press conference that the actions are only reflected very little in pump prices. I can't say what caused the change of mind. It is important that there is funding for the actions, and I have at least tried to bring these solutions to the table, Multala commented. #polttoaineet #hallitus #bensakiista (translated)
The government has reached an agreement on regulating fuel prices, which includes 30 million euros in support and tax incentives for the transport and agricultural sectors, but according to Minister Multala, the measures have little impact on consumer prices. #polttoaineet #hallitus #bensakiista (translated)
Saara Huhtasaari criticized Petteri Orpo's presentation of the National Coalition's 60 million euro fuel package and wrote that it would not lower the pump price of gasoline or diesel. She reported that Orpo had accused the Finns Party of stalling the package, to which Riikka Purra responded that it contained no measures to reduce pump prices. Huhtasaari agreed with Purra's assessment. According to Huhtasaari, road traffic in Finland consumed about 3.3–3.5 billion liters of fuel annually. If 60 million euros were distributed evenly, it would mean less than two cents per liter, she estimated. However, in her view, the package was targeted at commuting tax deductions and professional transport, and it would not be reflected in the filling station bill of an average motorist. Huhtasaari wrote that the pump price could be lowered by temporarily easing the distribution obligation or reducing fuel taxation. According to her, Purra and the Finns Party had proposed easing the distribution obligation, but the National Coalition and RKP did not support either measure. She criticized the package as a constructed image before the elections and claimed that the National Coalition was not ready to make decisions that would actually lower the price of fuel. #polttoaineet #suomi (translated)
Havukka-aho wrote to Pia Kauma that the matter was dismissed because no savings were proposed as a countermeasure. He believed that every Finnish person knew the solution was unfair. Additionally, he criticized the recipients for not being flexible regarding the zero-impact climate goal related to gasoline, but instead wanting to bind the Finnish people to it. #Suomi #ilmastopolitiikka #oikeudenmukaisuus (translated)
Tuulia Alanko wrote that Kauma had blocked her, so she had to settle for a screenshot. Alanko stated that she had been following Niilo Heinonen's activities from the previous day and the false claims made by the National Coalition Party regarding gasoline, according to her. She said she felt strong secondhand embarrassment about them and assessed that the support panic would make the National Coalition Party do anything. Alanko added that if the party intended to win the elections with this tactic, she wished it good luck on its journey. #politiikka #Suomi #vaalit (translated)
Otto Eriksson wrote that the impact of the gasoline package proposed by the National Coalition Party on fuel prices and people's daily lives would remain very minor, in his opinion. He believed that this was why no agreement was reached, and he claimed that Finnish drivers did not matter much as long as the climate was saved. https://t.co/d11FlshhWe #polttoaine #ilmasto #autoilu (translated)
Saara Huhtasaari claimed that Yle had misled viewers and said that the media did not challenge the claims because it, according to her, belonged to the same pool and spread the same propaganda. She stated that Penttilä had said the day before on A-studio that the prices of gasoline and diesel were the highest they had ever been. Citing data from AAA and EIA, Huhtasaari wrote that gasoline now cost about $3.82 per gallon in Texas, while in California the price had risen to over $6.40 during Biden's term in 2022. She reported the U.S. average price for diesel now at about $6.27 per gallon, with a national peak in 2022 of $5.81; in California, the price had reportedly risen to around $6.92. According to Huhtasaari, the claim of record-high prices was therefore inaccurate, and she stated that the truth was a side issue for Yle. #agendamedia #yle #propaganda #politiikka (translated)
According to the author, the biggest concern for the National Coalition Party amid the fuel crisis and the threat from Russia was that the Finns Party had surpassed them in the polls. He mentioned that discussions within the National Coalition Party had been heated and described the atmosphere as strongly frustrated. The author hoped that the readings on the gas pump would provoke just as much anger within the party. #polttoainekriisi #venäjäuhka #gallup #FI #RU (translated)
In "Six Million, who bids more?" Ben Salomo reflects on the persistent antisemitism in schools and his own experiences as a student, while trying to counter false narratives through education and personal communication. #Antisemitismus #Bildung #BenSalomo (translated)
Sture Fjäder wrote that the left made a huge mistake and said he considered it a good thing. According to him, Finns were patriotic, and Finland's security came before the security of the Palestinians. Fjäder also shared a link in the headline, which stated that the SDP and Lindtman were taking a huge risk and that Putin was a greater concern for Finns than gas during the election winter of 2027. https://t.co/jaPvBdV73D #Suomi #politiikka #turvallisuus (translated)
