Tanja Aidanjuuri criticized the Green Youth's proposal to ban the sale and import of new gasoline-powered passenger cars, as well as the import of cars registered after the ban takes effect. The proposal was presented by the chair of the Green Youth, Maria Saita, in a press release. Aidanjuuri described the Green Youth's goal as moving away from gasoline-powered cars and reducing car usage. She asked how ordinary Finns would get to work if there were no bus connections and if they couldn't afford an electric car. According to her, the ban would not bring more public transport to the villages or help low-income people afford a car trade-in. Aidanjuuri added that the approaching elections should not overshadow rational consideration. https://t.co/fnDSnNK6Jj #liikenne #sähköauto #ilmastonmuutos (translated)
Tanja Aidanjuuri wrote that the Greens had tried to influence city councils around Finland regarding what and how councilors could speak. She criticized the anti-racism and equality training organized for all councilors and estimated it would cost taxpayers 19,490 euros just in meeting fees. According to her, this amount did not include catering or the trainers' fees. According to Aidanjuuri, the training had originally been described as voluntary, but later it had become paid. She indicated that it had been difficult to get an answer to the question regarding the fee for the training. She also raised the issue of Vantaa's layoffs and the loss of employees' jobs, considering the training expensive and unnecessary. Aidanjuuri felt that the parties proposing the training did not create a taxpayer-friendly image and said that the discussion in Vantaa would stall when questions went unanswered. #Vantaa #poliikka #koulutus (translated)

Mats Uotila wrote that he remembers the memes where Päivi Räsänen wanted to ban everything, but said that her political experience had taught her that it was the green-left who compiled the lists of prohibitions. According to Uotila, the greens made a proposal in the council to restrict heavy transportation traffic in Tampere. He mentioned that previous proposals had concerned limiting advertising on the city's billboards and adding black sausage to the list of prohibitions. Uotila said he does not intend to support the proposals. #politiikka #Tampere #meemit (translated)

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)
