"If this property has been obtained as a result of a crime, then in the context of concluding the same proceedings, it would essentially mean that the criminal property would still remain in the hands of those people who have committed the crimes and thereby enrich themselves. The process works such that it must be proven where the property comes from, that it is of criminal origin, meaning obtained as a result of a crime. If this is proven, then it is possible to confiscate that property," explained Andreas Kangur, head of the Criminal Law and Procedure Division of the Ministry of Justice and Digital Affairs. #kuritegelikvara #Eestis #EuroopaLiit (translated)

"The Minister of Finance lacks a substantive perspective and a long-term view for restoring the state's finances, resulting in uncontrolled growth of state debt. 'The Minister of Finance lacks a substantive perspective and a long-term view for restoring the state's finances, resulting in uncontrolled growth of state debt. The inability of the Minister of Climate and Economy to clarify Estonia's energy future, supply security, and energy prices has undermined both the competitiveness of industry and the resilience of consumers. Despite thorough analyses, the Minister of Social Affairs has not created substantive and fact-based family policy in today's demographic crisis.

Ledarsidorna.se criticized Magdalena Andersson's objections to the Swedish Prime Minister's security policy focus on Sweden's neighborhood and the Baltic Sea. The writer described the criticism as an echo of Sten Andersson's and Pierre Schori's time and claimed that the ideas were still deeply rooted in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The writer believed that a less vigilant stance would betray Alexander Stubb and the foreign ministries of Finland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, and Poland. As a Finnish Swede, the writer stated that they were well aware of what Russia represented and claimed that the Social Democrats and Magdalena Andersson did not reflect the Finnish and Finnish Swedish view on security policy in their spontaneous comments to Politico. The writer called for more Finnish and Finnish Swedish determination and warned that otherwise, Sweden could again become subordinate to Kremlin. #svpol #sverige #säkerhetspolitik #finlandssvensk (translated)

When we talk about substance, we should naturally review and reform the entire tax system. Our entire tax system is built on the premise that 40 percent of taxes come from consumption taxes.
