We have observed an increase in the spirit of violence in both Poland and around the world. We see a grim trend of the spread of violence. However, at the crisis meeting held on Sunday, Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that the glorification of violence in some parts of the internet has a harmful effect on young people. #noarünnak #koolid #Poola (translated)

Jari Mäkäräinen criticized Sanna Ukkola's writing about the Prime Minister's meeting with Imam Sharmarke Said Aw-Mussen. According to Mäkäräinen, Ukkola regarded the meeting as ordinary work and believed that the imam, who was born in Turku, was being asked impossible questions regarding Sharia. Mäkäräinen argued that asking the imam was not a misunderstanding: in his view, the imam left open whether Sharia would be applied in Finland in family or criminal law matters. Mäkäräinen wrote that, according to him, freedom of religion did not justify the establishment of a parallel legal system alongside Finnish laws. He claimed that in Muslim-majority countries, freedom of religion, women's equality, and individual rights were not realized in liberal democracies due to Islamic doctrine and Sharia. He cited Lebanon as an example, where he believed the growth of the Muslim population and political organization undermined previous balance and led to civil war. In France, Sweden, Belgium, and Britain, he mentioned the visibility of parallel societies, honor-based violence, segregation of areas and schools, and pressure to accept practices related to Sharia. In Finland in the 2000s, Mäkäräinen claimed that groups with a Muslim background who had immigrated were connected to the overrepresentation of sexual offenses, unemployment, use of social security, and demands for their own rules. He believed that distinguishing criticism of Islam from calls for deportation did not make questions about Sharia suspect. According to Mäkäräinen, the primacy of the Finnish Constitution and criminal law should be clear in all matters, and Finland did not need to repeat the experiences of countries where the application of Sharia had been tried. https://t.co/bGpZ7VaTux #uskonnonvapaus #integratio #muslimit (translated)

The author stated that he had warned multiple times about the strong increase of anti-Muslim sentiment and Islamophobia in Finland.

The success story of the Finnish defense industry, represented through the stock market debut of Sensofusion's drone defense systems, opens up opportunities for retail investors to participate in the growth of the domestic defense industry, while such opportunities are lacking for retail investors in Estonia. #droonitõrje #kaitsetööstus #investeerimine (translated)

Raul Eamets emphasizes that when discussing the growth of Estonia's debt burden, one must take into account economic growth and price increases; it should also not be forgotten that suppressing future expenses is not a sustainable solution and that investments in human capital yield greater returns in the long term. #võlakoormus #majanduskasv #riigieelarve (translated)

Katariina Souri wrote that the price of food had risen by 25.1 percent since August 2021, while the rise in other consumer prices was around 18.1 percent according to her. She referred to a news article from Helsingin Sanomat and an estimate from researchers at the Natural Resources Institute Finland, which indicated that the necessity of food reduced the pressure on stores to lower prices. Souri noted that HS had not addressed the concentration of trade as a reason. According to Souri, the combined market share of the S-group and Kesko in the retail grocery sector was 82.5 percent, with the S-group controlling nearly half of the grocery market. She wrote that Finnish trade was the most concentrated in Europe and that the S and K groups were among the ten most profitable trading entities in the world. According to her, the combined operating profit of the S-group and SOK Corporation had grown from 280 million euros in 2021 to 495 million euros in 2025. In the first half of the current year, the profit had improved by 20 percent compared to the previous year. Souri claimed that the price received by primary producers and the profit development of the S-group had not progressed in the same proportion. According to her, a farmer or rancher was left with approximately 4–12 cents from a normal food euro, depending on the product, while most of the share went to the trade and the tax authorities. She considered the agricultural subsidies to effectively flow significantly into the profits and growth of the S-group and criticized the influence of the chains on zoning and legislation. Souri assessed that the duopoly in trade weakened the position of small businesses and free competition and restricted innovations and consumer choices. She wrote that politicians had failed to intervene in the situation. Additionally, she reported that Pellervo Economic Research had predicted at the end of September that food prices would rise in the following year as well. #ruoka #hintanousu #kauppa (translated)

The author called the proposal regarding the reform of the electricity market in the government's statement dangerous.

The author wrote that despite the turmoil in the world, common debt increased and financial concerns continued to affect more Europeans.

According to the author, the parliament approved today a support of 400,000 euros for those laid off from Valmet's car factory. He mentioned that Patria had ordered armored vehicles from the company, which he believes will also be reflected in employment.

"Focusing only on two percent of the project's emissions, the commission left unconsidered in its rationale whether conditions should be established to ensure the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to the maximum practically achievable extent," he noted. The Independent Planning Commission of New South Wales did not consider establishing rules to reduce those emissions, as the majority of them would occur overseas after the export of coal, said Judge James Edelman. #kliimamuutus #söekaevandus #keskkond (translated)
