Roni Arvonen estimated to Martti Paldanius that the Finns Party probably considered the immigration paper to be good. He speculated that the criticism was directed at the fact that the National Coalition Party had not taken concrete actions to solve the immigration problem and had not initiated any legislative proposals. Arvonen urged the National Coalition Party to move from words to actions. #maahanmuutto #politiikka #Suomi (translated)

As a former member of the National Coalition Party, Elina Ketonen wrote that she had been following the party's change in immigration policy with interest. She noted that in a recent poll by Yle, the National Coalition Party had fallen behind the Finns Party, and the party's parliamentary group had presented a strict immigration line. According to Ketonen, this was about the parliamentary group's program, not a directive approved by the party congress. She wrote that the program would not bind the next government nor guarantee concrete decisions during the next term. Ketonen interpreted the shift in line primarily as a bid for votes and assessed that the rhetoric would harden as support weakened. In her view, credibility stemmed from consistent actions, and voters had the right to ask whether the National Coalition Party's line had truly changed or if only the campaign speeches had changed. #maahanmuutto #politiikka #keskustelu (translated)

Sture Fjäder wrote that he supports the National Coalition Party and opposes blue-red coalitions. He stated that he supports right-wing or center-right governments because he sees himself as a bourgeois and right-wing individual. Fjäder demanded that Chairman Orpo publicly declare that the National Coalition Party would not engage in leftist cooperation, and he assessed that otherwise, the poll support would not turn to an increase. #vaalit2027 #KOK https://t.co/PLjDeZuQka #politiikka #oikeisto #Suomi (translated)

Suvi-Anne Siimes pondered whether it was a good thing that the parties were drafting goal programs on different topics, and stated that each of them deserved a discussion that examined the overall picture without bias. According to her, merely settling for rhetorical criticism was not beneficial for anyone. #politiikka #keskustelu #tavoitteet (translated)

Matti Viren wrote that, in his opinion, the National Coalition's decision would practically mean opening the borders: if Pizzeria X announced it needed 20 employees, the Migration Office would have no say in the matter. He referred to Kaleva, mentioning that the National Coalition still supports abandoning the labor availability assessment, even though this was not mentioned in the party's directives, and asked if it couldn't have fit into nine pages. https://t.co/4w6gjmAyva #Työvoima #Politiikka #Palkkaus (translated)

Dystocracy wrote that a liberal right-wing active voter did not, in his opinion, fit into the political plans of the National Coalition Party. He urged others again to explain why, in his opinion, there was no risk at all from the SDP-led blue-red coalition. https://t.co/5HAFZQkvh6 #politiikka #suomi #vaalit (translated)

The author estimates that if Finland continues to overlook the issues of immigration and does not attempt to solve or address them publicly, the country could end up in a situation similar to that of Germany and France, where far-right forces gain more power. He urged his opponents to keep this in mind. https://t.co/2AXFaCHoWL #maahanmuutto #politiikka #yhteiskunta #FI #DE #FR (translated)

Petra Nyqvist wondered whether the previously expressed division by the Finns Party that led to the party's split into the "nasty" and "blue" factions had also spread to the National Coalition Party. According to her, there seemed to be an attempt to oust cultured bourgeois values from the party. Nyqvist questioned what the point would be in having two right-wing parties that are both "nasty," which would share core ideas of opposing immigration and attitudes towards racism. She doubted whether there would be enough anti-foreigner voters for two large parties, which she described as being empty in content. #politiikka #maahanmuutto #rasismi (translated)

Henri Vanhanen wrote that it was difficult to say whether Germany's Alice Weidel and France's Marine Le Pen were imitators of Donald Trump or sympathizers of Vladimir Putin, and according to him, the difference may not necessarily have mattered for the outcome. He mentioned that Weidel had declared the war in Ukraine a defeat and demanded an end to Germany's support, while Le Pen wanted to limit France's financial support to Ukraine. According to Vanhanen, politicians aiming for power in Europe's large countries had a short-sighted attitude towards Russia, European history, and security. He warned Finland not to assume that the rest of Europe would inevitably follow the same path as Finland. He did not consider the AfD's entry into the German federal government in the coming years to be likely but assessed that the strengthening of political forces like the party would pose serious security policy problems. Vanhanen also wrote that the Kremlin was monitoring Europe's electoral calendars. According to him, Putin would have no reason to rush negotiations if he believed that Ukraine's supporters would be replaced by leaders who were less sympathetic to Ukraine. Vanhanen noted that Europe's center-right parties had not responded in a timely manner to citizens' immigration concerns, which had allowed room for radical alternatives. He viewed the problem not as a demand for stricter immigration policies, but in that these movements were also bringing to power forces that represented admiration for authoritarianism, opposition to Ukraine, and sympathy for Russia. He assessed that decisions about Europe's security would be made both on the battlefields of Ukraine and in European elections, emphasizing that this should also be understood in Finland. https://t.co/3s94O0WUiT #Eurooppa #Politiikka #Turvallisuus (translated)

Roni Arvonen wrote that the National Coalition Party suffered from a support panic and, according to him, tried to attract support from the Finns Party in the polls by talking about tightening immigration. He claimed that the party had not done anything concrete about the issue and described its statements as cheap. Arvonen urged to avoid an electoral trap. #politiikka #maahanmuutto #vaalit (translated)

Sture Fjäder wrote that he was pleased that his party, the National Coalition Party, had noticed the issue six months before the elections. He would have hoped for a program at the beginning of the electoral term and assessed that it could have been stricter. #maahanmuutto https://t.co/BhqOuLuZ7U #Kokoomus #vaalit #politiikka (translated)

The fuel support package is almost a complete flop. Antti Lindtman, the chairman of the SDP, who appeared on MTV's "Asian Ytimessä" program, says that the government has not been able to respond to the rising costs of everyday life for Finns. #SDP #Polttoaine #Politiikka (translated)

Jesse Rauhamo said he had been following X more actively in recent weeks and wondered why he had to read nearly every publication from a member of the National Coalition Party twice. According to him, the reason was not the complexity of the texts, but the difficulty in believing that a fully functioning adult had seriously written them. Rauhamo asked what was going on in the National Coalition Party. #Kokoomus #Politiikka #Suomi (translated)
