The Finns Party announced that it had made cuts of 1.34 billion euros to development aid, which it described as historic. According to the party, it had also stopped or suspended several development aid projects and made aid conditional on the recipient country taking back its repatriable citizens and not supporting Russia's aggressive war. The Finns Party stated that development aid had undergone a complete overhaul and considered it necessary to continue this work in the next electoral term. #siksiPS #perussuomalaiset #kotimaakutsuu #kehitysapu #kehitysapu #perussuomalaiset #siksiPS (translated)

Mika Merano announced that he will be a candidate for the Finns Party in the upcoming spring parliamentary elections in the Uusimaa electoral district. He named his main themes as fighting corruption, reforming the use of tax funds, and strengthening the status of the Finnish language and Finnish culture. Merano opposed, among other things, the dual roles of politicians in organizations, political appointments, and directing tax funds to the close circles of politicians. He demanded public impact reports on taxpayer-funded projects and believed that tax funds should benefit Finnish taxpayers. He also opposed development aid, projects that he described as ideological, and unprofitable EU funding requests. In language policy, Merano opposed mandatory Swedish and multiculturalism, which he viewed as narrowing Finnish traditions. He supported a unilingual Finland, conducting business in one's native language, and preserving Finnish cultural heritage. He also suggested that cuts affecting citizens should be made only as a last resort. Merano asked people to spread the word about his candidacy, to join his campaign team, or to support his campaign. He stated that donations would go to the Mika Merano Support Association and would be used entirely for the campaign. According to him, donations could be made via MobilePay to the number 47188 or to the association's account FI19 8146 9710 4278 49. He mentioned that the names of donors contributing at least 1,500 euros would be public. The campaign manager, according to Merano, is marketing professional and Kouvola city councilor Suvi Karell, who coordinates the campaign work. #Suomi #Eduskuntavaalit #Perussuomalaiset (translated)

Kamal Jafi wrote that according to him, there was a willingness to use one billion euros for development aid, but when it came to the essential needs of one's own people, reference was made to the difficult economic situation and lack of money. He believed that it was the duty of the decision-makers to prioritize their own people. #kehitysapua #kotimaa #talous (translated)

The Finns Party wrote that development aid had been an issue for many parties that they did not want to cut, but according to the party, taxpayer funding could not have unlimited use. The party reported on the changes made under the leadership of Foreign Trade and Development Minister Ville Tavio and announced that cuts to development aid amounted to a total of 1.34 billion euros. According to it, programs in Afghanistan, Myanmar, Kenya, and Mozambique had been discontinued. The party also stated that development aid was no longer automatic: the Somalia program had been suspended due to problems with repatriation cooperation. In addition, it was emphasized in development cooperation that more emphasis was placed on Finland's interests and the opportunities for Finnish companies in the world. #ps #perussuomalaiset #kehitysapu #kehitysapu #suomi #politiikka (translated)

Jesse Rauhamo wrote that Finland would use 1,034,000,000 euros for development aid in 2026, which he claimed would amount to 2.83 million euros per day and 118,000 euros per hour. He compared the sum to Finnish families with children, who he said were counting their euros in stores, to elderly people waiting for care, and to the state's increasing borrowing. Rauhamo asked when Finland had become the social office of the whole world. #suomi #kehitysapuu #talous (translated)

Roni Arvonen wrote that money, according to him, was found for fringe benefits, business support, party support, development aid, and guaranteed pensions for immigrants, but not for entrepreneurs. He attached a heart symbol representing the National Coalition Party to his message. #rahapolitiikka #yrittäjyys #suomi (translated)

Mika Merano wrote that the concern over the support for the National Coalition Party had led to communication guidelines, which he claimed originated from Ellun Kanoilta or imams. He assessed that the guidelines resulted in criticism from the Finns Party and discussions about inheritance tax. Merano said he understood why the National Coalition Party did not want to eliminate inheritance tax by reducing an equivalent amount of development aid. According to him, the party's target program committed to the UN's sustainable development principles, which indicated using 0.7 percent of gross national product for development aid. Merano estimated that this meant doubling the current development aid of about one billion euros. He argued that development aid could not be cut if the goal was to increase the use of tax funds for what he described as virtue signaling and for financing, among other things, swimming pools, private zoos, and golf courses. According to him, this would be the case even if the cut would allow for the elimination of the inheritance tax. #Kokoomus #Perintövero #Kehitysapu (translated)

Otto Meri criticized the cuts to the prosecution service and compared them to the tax-free dividends of trade unions, the tens of millions granted in corporate support to publicly traded companies, and the hundreds of millions in development aid. According to Meri, the handling of a typical criminal case could already take up to five years, and the cuts would further prolong legal proceedings. He assessed that this would particularly increase the uncertainty of crime victims. Meri considered the realization of criminal responsibility to be one of the pillars of the rule of law and stated that the judiciary should be strengthened rather than weakened. He viewed the cuts as a wrong direction. #oikeusvaltio #rikosoikeus #yritystuet (translated)

The Finns Party viewed that financing development aid with debt was unsustainable. According to the party, the money did not circulate within the Finnish economy, but went to countries where many had widespread corruption. It demanded prioritization in the Finnish economy and stated that Finns should come first. #ps #perussuomalaiset #kehitysapu #prioriteetit #kehitysapu #Suomi #korruptio (translated)

Suomella ei ole varaa: - Aseisiin. Suomella on varaa: - Kehitysapuun. - Järjestörahoitukseen. - Yleen. - EU:n tukipaketteihin. - Ennallistamiseen. - Hiilinieluihin. - Maahanmuuttajien sosiaaliturvaan. - Pöhöttyneeseen valtiokoneistoon. Sen takia tarvitsemme puolustusveron! #Suomi #Puolustus #Kehitysapuu

Suomi hukkaa kehitysapuun vuodessa sen summan, jolla olisi saatu ainakin yksi siivu Carunasta valtiolle, ja siten hieman ankkuroitua näitä mannerlaattoja. Strategisia virheitä tehdään sarjatulella.

Nasima Razmyar haaveilee massiivisista veronkiristyksistä, jotka tappaisivat orastavan kasvun.
