Miko Bergbom wrote that the Green youth hoped for "free money" for immigrants and reminded that, according to him, this was taxpayer money. He stated that Finland could not afford the current situation and demanded a swift transition to a citizenship-based social security system. According to Bergbom, the welfare state was at risk if this was not done, as the money, in his view, was running out. Bergbom claimed that the share of immigrants in certain social benefits clearly exceeded their share of the population. He said that in the capital region, their share of the total amount of social assistance was already about 50 percent. He stated that this situation should raise concerns, but he opposed new unconditional benefits for immigrants proposed by the left. #maahanmuutto #sosiaaliturva #verotus (translated)

Maria Rautanen wrote that the Left Alliance proposed tightening the taxation of domestic wood fuels and energy peat. According to her, the proposal could increase heating costs, weaken the competitiveness of domestic energy production, and increase pressures on security of supply. Rautanen assessed that the costs could impact low-income individuals, whose position the Left, in her opinion, claimed to defend, and criticized the proposal for not taking into account its possible effects on the daily lives of ordinary Finns. #kotimainenenergia #verotus #lämmitys (translated)

Juho Hirvelä wrote that there had been discussions in Finland about lowering the fuel distribution obligation and that the Finns Party was said to support it, while according to him it did not seem suitable for the National Coalition Party and the Swedish People's Party. He asked whether fuel taxes in Finland were too high and whether it would be reasonable for the government to return half of the extra tax revenue from high fuel prices to motorists as a tax reduction. According to Hirvelä, the state was collecting unprecedented amounts of money in taxes. #polttoaine #verotus #Suomi (translated)

Petteri Vaara criticized the government's decision to grant a 150 million euro tax support to Anglo American's subsidiary, Sakati, through Business Finland. According to him, the value of the metal deposits located in Viiankiaapa in Sodankylä, a Natura 2000 area, was tens of billions of euros: about 15 billion euros for copper and over ten billion euros for nickel, gold, and palladium. Vaara believed that the mining company would receive the extracted metals and the vast majority of the economic benefits, while the risks of the project would remain with nature and taxpayers. Vaara wrote that the state was preparing and partly funding mining projects but handed the responsibility for leading them to multinational companies. He also criticized the National Coalition Party member of parliament, Pia Kauma, who stated that protected nature calmed and comforted people, but metals were needed for batteries and electrical cables. Vaara mentioned that Sakati had met with several ministers, their assistants, and members of parliament and had used consultants from the law firm Borenius. Vaara claimed that 79 percent of Finns opposed mining in nature conservation areas. According to him, the government was pushing for the project to gain the status of an EU strategic raw materials initiative to expedite the permitting process. He also criticized Anglo American's plans to purchase old-growth forests in Inari and to restore drained wetlands to replace Viiankiaapa. Vaara referred to a statement from the Permit and Supervision Agency, which indicated that the actions proposed by the company were insufficient to mitigate the environmental harm of the project as required by the nature directive. https://t.co/spQ6nEoAhG #Suomi #Luonto #Kaivosteollisuus (translated)

Joakim Vigelius wrote to Pia Kauma that, in his opinion, lowering the distribution obligation could reduce prices by about 15–20 cents without decreasing state tax revenues. He estimated that a similar effect from a tax cut would cost the state one billion euros and considered a package of 60 million euros to be minor in comparison. #verotus #talous #alennus (translated)
