Urho Haho wrote that he had been amused by the panic of the National Coalition's Niilo Heinonen and his partners. According to Haho, Heinonen tried to commit the city to what he described as fanatical climate goals together with the Greens in the Oulu city council. Haho believed that Heinonen was now presenting himself as right-wing, even though he was not distinguishable from the Greens in Oulu. #politiikka #Oulu #ilmasto (translated)

Mari Rantanen wrote to Niilo Heinonen and Otto Juote that, in her opinion, the publication of the list was not a political decision but a decision by the Supo that the KHO had upheld.

Henri Vanhanen wrote that Volodymyr Zelensky was ready to hold elections in Ukraine if Vladimir Putin agreed to a 60-day ceasefire. Vanhanen noted that this was not a new concession, as Zelensky had made the same proposal in February and required sufficient security guarantees to hold the elections. Vanhanen interpreted the proposal as a message to Donald Trump, who, in his view, had repeatedly questioned Zelensky’s position and called for elections in Ukraine. According to Vanhanen, holding elections would require the United States to get Russia to stop hostilities for a sufficient period. He found it contradictory that Ukraine was being asked to hold elections in the midst of an invasion, while Russia had not agreed to a ceasefire that would allow for it. Vanhanen also pondered how strong Trump’s pressure on Zelensky had become, referring to Trump’s recent statements regarding Ukrainian leadership. He believed that the replacement of the Ukrainian president should not become a substantive goal of peace negotiations, but rather that Ukrainians should choose their own leader. According to Vanhanen, Trump should have used his influence to promote a ceasefire rather than forcing Ukraine to defend the legitimacy of its democracy. #Ukraina #Zelenskyi #Trump (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)

Mika Merano wrote that the concern over the support for the National Coalition Party had led to communication guidelines, which he claimed originated from Ellun Kanoilta or imams. He assessed that the guidelines resulted in criticism from the Finns Party and discussions about inheritance tax. Merano said he understood why the National Coalition Party did not want to eliminate inheritance tax by reducing an equivalent amount of development aid. According to him, the party's target program committed to the UN's sustainable development principles, which indicated using 0.7 percent of gross national product for development aid. Merano estimated that this meant doubling the current development aid of about one billion euros. He argued that development aid could not be cut if the goal was to increase the use of tax funds for what he described as virtue signaling and for financing, among other things, swimming pools, private zoos, and golf courses. According to him, this would be the case even if the cut would allow for the elimination of the inheritance tax. #Kokoomus #Perintövero #Kehitysapu (translated)

The author believed that this was not about individual silliness, but a long list indicated to him that racism had been toyed with throughout the entire term. He said that nothing real had been done about the issue. https://t.co/b2ouwo85hW #rasismi #oikeudet #politiikka #FI (translated)

Sture Fjäder wrote that his party should stop scoring own goals.

He announced that he opposes blue-red cooperation. #kok https://t.co/Ys9N2goKOt #politiikka #hallitus #Suomi (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.

ProFin wrote that Trump’s appeasement should be completely stopped and Ukraine should blow Trump's diesels to hell down to the last drop. According to him, Europe's attempts to get Trump to commit to Article 5 through appeasement were already too late — if such an opportunity had ever existed. #Trump #Ukraina #Eurooppa (translated)

Tuomo Saarni wrote that party discipline was important for the National Coalition Party as well, but in the vote regarding the terrorist organization, the female representative of the party was allowed to vote in favor of mandatory hijab, according to him. He asked what misogyny was still needed for. #politiikka #naisasiat #demokratia (translated)

ProFin wrote that Ukraine had fallen victim to Russia's barbaric attack and had fought for its freedom for five years. According to him, Trump claimed that the purpose of the war was to harass American farmers. ProFin demanded that Trump step down from his position before it was too late. #Ukraina #Venäjä #vapaus (translated)

Henri Vanhanen wrote that Donald Trump's Russia policy may not have been guided by a coherent strategy. According to him, Trump made decisions one by one, seeking quick political gains, and then had to fix the consequences. In his assessment, Vanhanen linked Trump's diminished commitment to arming Ukraine, the energy price increases resulting from the war in Iran, and the recent diesel trade with Russia. He believed that trade could bolster the Russian economy and give Vladimir Putin a means to pressure Ukraine into halting strikes on Russia's oil refineries. Vanhanen also criticized Trump for condemning strikes that he claimed weakened Russia's war economy. Vanhanen noted that Trump’s administration had not sought significant new funding from Congress for arming Ukraine. According to him, previously agreed deliveries had continued, and European countries had purchased American weapons for Ukraine. He stated that Trump was not fundamentally on the side of Ukraine or Europe but was primarily pursuing his own interests. According to Vanhanen, Finland's security should not be built on the assumption that there is a plan behind Trump's decisions that would turn in favor of Europe. He urged preparedness for the possibility that U.S. aid could be delayed or smaller than expected, to strengthen the availability of defense equipment and air defense, and to deepen cooperation with Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Britain, Poland, and the Baltic countries. He also believed that Europe should be able to support Ukraine and maintain economic pressure on Russia by its own means. #Trump #Venäjä #Ukraina (translated)
