Jussi Korson considered the topic he presented to the Academy of Finland an interesting research subject and wrote that the population had increased by 12 percent and the number of assaults by 100 percent. According to him, the topic should be studied with a four-year, 400,000 euro grant, and there would be no other requirements than that the researcher's name would be Valo or Lumi. https://t.co/r4CLkkjeyC #tutkimus #Suomi #väkivalta (translated)

Korson Jussi I Vantaa defender! asked why the violence in France was downplayed, while according to him, Yle had covered a domestic case where a protester was punched, for three days around the clock. He wrote that the event had been reconstructed with a 3D model and that five experts had been heard on the matter.

Binga Tupamäki wrote that the events in France were finally treated as riots rather than peaceful student protests, but he criticized the media coverage as still having a strange tone. According to him, Helsingin Sanomat suggested that the videos circulating from the riots promoted the far-right agenda and emphasized that the involvement of immigrants could not yet be confirmed. Tupamäki asked why the editorial teams were hesitant in this case, even though they had previously speculated on matters before official confirmations. He believed that comments from Donald Trump and Sebastian Tynkkynen should not become main news stories instead of the violence, and called for a deeper analysis of the causes and consequences of the events. According to Tupamäki, contemplating the connection between immigration failure and social unrest does not make a person far-right. He referred to the decades-long discussion in France about the segregation of suburbs and the problems of integration, and assessed that there were no common norms or respect in an increasingly unequal environment. He urged an examination of the role of the radical left and claimed that the streets of France were primarily places of rioting for the far left. Tupamäki mentioned that Greta Thunberg participated in the protest and praised students for rising against the system, even though he claimed there were no concrete demands. He assessed that the unrest was more related to revolutionary fantasies than to a shortage of teachers and budget cuts. According to Tupamäki, the rigid reporting by Helsingin Sanomat and other media ironically benefited the far-right: if people saw videos and heard that only far-right individuals thought about the conclusions drawn from them, they might begin to identify with it. He considered honest and fair reporting as a means to prevent radicalization. #Ranska #mellakat #media (translated)

Sammallahti wrote that the Finnish left, in his opinion, had remained silent about the riots in France. He claimed that masked antifascists had waved Palestinian flags, set major cities on fire, looted stores, and assaulted bystanders. Sammallahti assessed that the left's reaction would have been stronger if there had been features interpreted as right-wing in the riots. Sammallahti also claimed that in Finland, antifascist actors operated particularly under the protection of the Left Alliance and the Greens, and had organized events such as Kuokkavieraat, Smash ASEM, Kiakkovieraat, and Makasiinimellakat, as well as the Luokkaretki lähiöst linnaan event and the activities of Extinction Rebellion. According to him, the connections of far-left groups to current politics had not been investigated in Finland because there had been no lustration and the media had a sympathetic attitude towards the left. He added that leftist politicians had sometimes carried symbols of violent extremist groups and that some of the event organizers had advanced to influential political positions. Sammallahti hoped that leftist politicians would autonomously condemn the actions of their like-minded peers. He believed that the violence of the far-left should be prevented rather than understood, using soft and, if necessary, hard means. https://t.co/CXoRZ8GE6X https://t.co/YStFgDHL6U https://t.co/6EQpCOTZAo https://t.co/OOq0ayZ4Ou #vasemmisto #mellakat #antifasismi (translated)

The Day's Bureaucrat claimed that Helsingin Sanomat was irritated that it could no longer decide where Finns got their information. According to him, the newspaper's editorial team was not concerned about the riots of violent leftist and Islamist groups, but rather that reporting on them could increase support for the far right and anti-immigration sentiments. The Day's Bureaucrat also wrote that the editorial leadership had backgrounds in, among others, Kansan Uutiset and the Ydin magazine published by the Peace Committee and the Peace League, and described these backgrounds as communist. He also criticized fact-checking and considered it the lowest quality he had seen. #suomi #media #tiedotus (translated)
