The industry was already preparing for a price increase from 1.44 PLN to 1.80 PLN. It set up its entire business for this change, including the calculation of securities, entering into contracts with networks, and raw material purchases. Suddenly, it turns out that the increase will be even greater – said Krzysztof Rutkowski, excise duty expert from KDCP Tax Office. #Akcyza #EPapierosy #MŚP (translated)

Ous wondered whether the situation would repeat every weekend in all the stadiums in England. He expressed hope that the players would keep their cool, believing that being booed for an event they had no influence over — especially since they weren't even at the club yet — could quickly make them crack. #Football #Angleterre #Supporters (translated)

Actu Foot reported that Thierno Barry revealed he had played for a year with a dislocated shoulder, particularly during his first season at Everton in the Premier League. He explained that this injury complicated his duels against Van Dijk, Konaté, and Kalvin Bassey and made him feel like he was playing with one arm less. Barry also recounted that, during the match where he scored his first goal with Everton the previous year, his shoulder had popped out. According to him, a defender noticed he was suffering and tried to target his shoulder during the match. He ultimately scored and presented his mental strength as an asset. #Football #Mentalité #Inspiration (translated)

Keijo Kaarisade wrote that when condemning the oppression of women, it was agreed, in his opinion, to speak vaguely about religions and cultures without referring to Islam. He criticized that a member of the National Coalition Party had been assigned to the matter and they themselves had followed along, and said that he would have to explain the issue to the imam again with Petteri. https://t.co/bbPqxHiqBm #naistenoikeudet #uskonto #kulttuuri (translated)

Klaus said he had responded to a user named Sukkola, who he claimed had blocked him. He stated that his criticism was directed at Said Aw-Musse's position as a religious authority rather than at his personal actions. Klaus described classical Sunni Islam as a tradition in which sharia is seen as divinely ordained and as a legal system superior to human laws. According to him, it included legal, moral, and social rules regarding, among other things, testimony, inheritance, apostasy, and legislative authority. Klaus wrote that Aw-Musse had studied theology in Saudi Arabia and worked in a mosque where the teachings of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab had been used. He described this figure as an ultra-conservative thinker who demanded the return of Islam to its literal roots. According to Klaus, Aw-Musse's refusal to clarify his position on the primacy of Finnish law and the status of sharia justified suspicion. Merely following the law, in his opinion, did not indicate whether he considered the constitutional order of Finland to be just and final or a temporary imposition. Klaus expressed a desire to know what kind of Finland Aw-Musse envisioned in 50 or 100 years. Klaus believed that questions regarding women's rights, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and criminal law were not leading him into a trap but were inquiries into whether Aw-Musse accepted the principles of the Finnish rule of law. He deemed Aw-Musse's public stance significant for its societal relevance due to his religious role. According to Klaus, integration required not only adherence to the law but also acceptance of fundamental values. #uskonto #oikeudet #kulttuuri (translated)

Mikael Lith wrote that, in his opinion, the center of Helsinki has become more unpleasant in recent years, especially on weekend evenings. He described loud and swearing groups of people, individuals under the influence of substances, and rundown places. According to Lith, there was an increasing need for police and security guards, and he estimated that it wouldn't be long before Helsinki would become Finland's Birmingham. #Helsinki #yhteiskunta #kulttuuri (translated)

Otto Meri criticized the cuts to the prosecution service and compared them to the tax-free dividends of trade unions, the tens of millions granted in corporate support to publicly traded companies, and the hundreds of millions in development aid. According to Meri, the handling of a typical criminal case could already take up to five years, and the cuts would further prolong legal proceedings. He assessed that this would particularly increase the uncertainty of crime victims. Meri considered the realization of criminal responsibility to be one of the pillars of the rule of law and stated that the judiciary should be strengthened rather than weakened. He viewed the cuts as a wrong direction. #oikeusvaltio #rikosoikeus #yritystuet (translated)

Mikael Lith disputed the claim by Muhis Azizi, the leading figure of the Turku Coalition, that the racism scandals of the True Finns had led to a decline in the support for the Coalition. According to Lith, Azizi strongly supported immigration and wanted the Coalition to ally with the red-green parties to increase it. Lith reminded that Azizi had already described the immigration policies of the government program in 2023 as "unequal" and "discriminatory." https://t.co/s1Hs3RHY2I #politiikka #maahanmuutto #rasismi (translated)

Henri Vanhanen wrote that Finland had paid billions of euros because, in his opinion, the geopolitical risks posed by Russia were not taken seriously in time. He referred to Fortum's Uniper transactions, in which he claimed nearly six billion euros were lost, as well as Rosatom's assertion that it had won the arbitration concerning the Hanhikivi nuclear power project against Fennovoima. Vanhanen noted that the final resolution and possible compensation were still unclear. Vanhanen said the losses were in the billions and had also been a detriment to taxpayers. According to him, lessons should have been learned from these cases that geopolitics and security policy could not be separated from economic decision-making. He wrote that warnings about Russia's aggression had been issued for years, but economic interests often outweighed them, and he felt that Finland could no longer afford to ignore the realities of global politics until the billion-euro bill arrived. https://t.co/Omv0fRGsLq #geopolitiikka #turvallisuuspolitiikka #Suomi (translated)
