Katleena Kortesuo wrote that she spoke for the first time at an event where her firstborn was also in the audience. She asked whether she should tell the participants about her child's embarrassing teenage years, show pictures from 20 years ago of them in a potty training stage, or call them by a pet name in front of everyone. She also inquired how others had acted in similar situations. #vanhemmuus #puhetilaisuus #esikoiset (translated)

Henri Vanhanen wrote that the Ilta-Sanomat news about Jaakko Laakso's communication with the Turkish foreign minister reminded him of his trip to Ankara with Mika Aaltola in February 2023. Vanhanen said they had discussed at that time the obstacles and opportunities regarding Finland's NATO membership ratification. Vanhanen stated that based on their assessments from the discussions, Turkey was clearly more positive towards Finland's membership than Sweden's, and that a separate pathway could be opened for Finland. They had made their assessment public and raised the possibility that Finland could advance if necessary before Sweden. According to Vanhanen, the assessment turned out to be correct. He noted that at that time they were not aware that Laakso had already met with the Turkish foreign minister the previous spring and expressed his opposition to Finland's NATO membership. Vanhanen wrote that Laakso's actions raised serious questions: in his view, opposing NATO membership was the right of every Finn, but conveying anti-membership views directly to the Turkish foreign minister was a different matter. Vanhanen believed that the events related to Finland's NATO membership deserved clarification, especially when they raised difficult questions about Finnish actions. https://t.co/XGptAqzYmF #Suomi #Nato #Turkki (translated)

Tanja Aidanjuuri wrote that what she read was sad and conveyed the story of the girl's mother about the events. According to the mother, the girl was shopping for the first time alone with her friend at Tripla when a group of eight girls surrounded them in the bathroom. The girls did not know each other beforehand, according to the mother. The group had scared the girls and demanded that they apologize without explaining the reason. The mother stated that the girl apologized out of fear, but then she was pushed against the wall and hit twice. #väkivalta #nuoret #turvallisuus (translated)

Venla Manninen wrote that, in her opinion, there was evidence presented regarding the effects of mass immigration on Western countries and that the situation in Germany, France, and Britain, as well as statistics on sexual crimes, unemployment benefits, prisoners, and gangs could not be ignored. She believed that the differences between parties were evident in how willing they were to address the problems of immigration. According to Manninen, the Finns Party was the only credible party to solve these issues. She criticized the green-left for focusing on multiculturalism and stated that the Social Democrats had voted against nearly all of the government's immigration tightening measures. She also highlighted the border security law, claiming that six social democrats, including the party's vice-chairman, voted against it. Manninen criticized the Centre Party for its lack of direction and noted that the party had announced it was aiming for 40,000 net immigrants per year in this electoral term. She described the National Coalition Party as contradictory: according to her, the party spoke about deporting criminals while simultaneously wanting tens of thousands of immigrants for low-wage jobs. Manninen argued that only a small portion of labor immigrants found employment in jobs requiring special skills and that nearly all directed towards low-wage sectors. Manninen believed that the Finns Party was advancing Finland's and the Finns' interests and dared to say things that, in her opinion, other parties did not acknowledge. However, she pointed out that no party could change laws on its own. She stated that without the Finns Party in government, concrete legislative actions would not be taken to address immigration issues, and instead, tightening measures might be lifted and rules loosened. #maahanmuutto #Suomi #politiikka (translated)

According to the author, the EU's External Action Service and a few others had removed their names from the materials of the EU's main disinformation conference because the event also addressed the information manipulation and disinformation directed at Europe by the Trump administration. https://t.co/kPXZ52TLiR #disinformaatio #EU #Trump #EU #US (translated)

The author stated that they were examining the escalation at the European level and mentioned that they were leading the work of the largest political party in Europe in the banner of democracy.

Arto Koskelo wrote that the events of October 7 were terrible and wrong, but criticized the fact that a counterargument was often presented afterward. According to him, some placed a period after the word 'but' in a sentence to make the beginning seem firm, even though the message remained the same. #tapahtumat #keskustelu #todellisuus (translated)

Henri Vanhanen wrote that an armed and masked group had infiltrated Latvia, a NATO member, from Belarus. According to him, the armed men had first attempted to force about 20 migrants across the border and threatened Latvian soldiers. Later, masked individuals had damaged border infrastructure and taken surveillance cameras before returning to Belarus. Vanhanen stated that Latvian authorities had confirmed the events, but the identity of the infiltrators and any possible connection to the Belarusian or Russian state were still under investigation. Vanhanen regarded the events as a reminder that the next crisis at Finland's eastern border could differ from the events of 2023. He called for preparation against armed provocations, sabotage, and deliberate border crossings, and highlighted the resources available at the border, the operations of the Border Guard, and the speed of decision-making in the Defense Forces. He wrote that the integrity of the national border could not be negotiable and that there must be an immediate response to deliberate border crossings. https://t.co/8BnhxJJ5jb #Latvia #Nato #kriisi (translated)

Elina Hiltunen stated that her name had been crossed out with a ballpoint pen from the candidate documents of the Turku Mikael Parish elections, and the consent form she had signed was missing. According to her, an election official called her about it two hours before the deadline for candidate registration. Hiltunen had stood as a candidate on the Blue Path candidate association's list. She described the list as multi-party and stated that it also included independent candidates and representatives from the Christian Democrats. After resigning from the National Coalition Party, she claimed she was separately asked if she wanted to continue on the list, and she had responded affirmatively. Her husband was also on the same list, and according to Hiltunen, he had no connection to the National Coalition Party. Hiltunen said she would have accepted it if she had been informed in time that she was not wanted on the list. She viewed the last-minute crossing out as a failed sabotage attempt aimed at preventing her participation in the parish elections. She reported that she managed to get to the election office and signed the documents again at 3:45 PM. According to Hiltunen, the election board addressed the matter on October 1, 2026, and unanimously confirmed that a candidate could not be removed by arbitrary crossing out. She stated that she was a candidate for the joint church council with the number 24 and for the parish council with the number 88. A criminal complaint had been filed regarding the events and the unauthorized handling of the documents, according to her. #politiikka #kokoomus #suomi #seurakunta #vaalit #politiikka #vaalit #demokratia (translated)

Tuomo Saarni wrote that the police having to flee indicated to him that many things had gone wrong.

Matias Turkkila wrote that the leader of the French left, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, had spoken about the end of capitalism at an event and said that a socialism based on white Catholic workers would not be realized in France. Turkkila compared Mélenchon to Finland's Li Andersson. According to Turkkila, Métapolitique interpreted the comment to mean that Mélenchon considered the old socialism focused on white trade union workers to be dead and wanted to build a foundation based on immigration and cultural diversity instead. He also mentioned that 69 percent of France's Muslims had voted for Mélenchon's LFI party in the first round of the presidential elections. According to Turkkila, The Jewish Chronicle and The Telegraph were among the critics who described this as an opportunistic alliance with the growing Muslim voter base instead of the traditional working class. He asked if this scenario sounded familiar. #sosialismi #Ranska #monimuotoisuus (translated)

This is no longer just a political blunder, but probably the most humiliating national failure in the history of Finland's industry. This analysis reveals black on white how totally and blindly the Finnish state leadership has sold the interests of its own citizens in front of the marketing department of Silicon Valley. Let's break down this "sleight of hand" into three devastating facts that make the government's actions completely inexcusable. First of all, despite all the prime minister-level hype, promises, and the liturgy of the green transition, the outcome is harsh. As a result of Google's massive investments, no new electricity production is being built in Finland—zero megawatts. The company's marketing department worded it so cleverly that the government, desperately thirsty for economic growth, swallowed the bait completely baffled. The leadership was smilingly taken in front of cameras as a guarantor for a project that will not bring a single new watt to the Finnish grid. The second issue is the hijacking of national base power. This is the real, chilling bomb of the news. Since no new electricity will come, where will these massive data centers draw their power? The answer: from our nuclear power. The analysis reveals that as much as 500 megawatts of Finland's nuclear power capacity is dedicated exclusively to Google until 2050. This nuclear power is not just any electricity. It is precisely that stable, weather-independent base power that is vital for Finland's price stability and security of supply. The government is thus surrendering half a gigawatt of infrastructure intended to safeguard Finnish citizens during cold days to a multinational monopoly for the next quarter century. Thirdly, the master has definitively become a servant. When 500 megawatts of stable nuclear power is tied to Google's inflexible use, and no new capacity is brought in, the mathematical equation is devastating for the Finnish consumer. When a calm cold spell strikes in January, our electricity grid will lack that 500-megawatt lifesaver. It is dedicated to AI computation, and the ordinary Finnish citizen will pay for it with horrendous spikes in market electricity prices and increased transmission fees from Fingrid. The Finnish government allowed a multinational company to blind itself with platitudes and let a foreign entity walk straight into the national switchboard. This is not an investment in Finland. This is a hostile resource grab, which the country's own leadership blessed with a smile, sacrificing the energy security and purchasing power of Finns at the altar of the company's marketing trick. In democracy, there is one simple and ruthless rule: if the highest leadership of the state cannot defend the interests of its own people, it must step aside. Looking at this chain of events and the facts revealed by Talouselämä, the demand for Prime Minister Orpo's resignation is no longer just political shouting. It is the only logical conclusion in a situation where the head of government has shown a total lack of judgment in securing national infrastructure and the economy. The prime minister's job is to be the master in his own country. His task is to sit at the negotiating table, look the world's richest companies in the eye, and say: "This is our grid, our nuclear power, and our nature. You will pay for the infrastructure, you will build the new electricity, and you will pay the royalties here. Otherwise, you can take your servers elsewhere." If the prime minister is not capable of this—if he is so desperate that he can be led by a marketing department's word games like a measuring cup—he does not have the backbone that leading Finland requires in this global squeeze. Then there is only one right action: hand the keys back to the people and resign. #Suomi #politiikka #energiapolitiikka (translated)

There were 180 passengers and crew members on Flydubai flight FZ1073 who narrowly avoided a tragedy earlier today when the crew and Israeli passengers managed to together prevent a planned terrorist attack. Six years after the signing of the Abraham Accords, the purpose of the attack was to sabotage relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. Instead, the events demonstrated the solidarity between the citizens of the two countries. Thanks to the exceptional courage of the Israeli passengers and Emirati crew, the flight landed safely moments ago at Ben Gurion Airport. #terrorismi #solidaarisuus #lentoturvallisuus (translated)
