Matti Hämeenaho criticized the representatives of the National Coalition Party and wrote that they are now demanding cuts, even though, in his opinion, the 10 billion euro list of cuts brought to the meeting in Riga was not approved, and instead, the value-added tax was increased. According to Hämeenaho, small "fringe cuts" were strongly opposed, and he emphasized that actions are decisive. https://t.co/aw105p36Jc #politiikka #talous #Suomi (translated)
Henri Vanhanen wrote that the Ilta-Sanomat news about Jaakko Laakso's communication with the Turkish foreign minister reminded him of his trip to Ankara with Mika Aaltola in February 2023. Vanhanen said they had discussed at that time the obstacles and opportunities regarding Finland's NATO membership ratification. Vanhanen stated that based on their assessments from the discussions, Turkey was clearly more positive towards Finland's membership than Sweden's, and that a separate pathway could be opened for Finland. They had made their assessment public and raised the possibility that Finland could advance if necessary before Sweden. According to Vanhanen, the assessment turned out to be correct. He noted that at that time they were not aware that Laakso had already met with the Turkish foreign minister the previous spring and expressed his opposition to Finland's NATO membership. Vanhanen wrote that Laakso's actions raised serious questions: in his view, opposing NATO membership was the right of every Finn, but conveying anti-membership views directly to the Turkish foreign minister was a different matter. Vanhanen believed that the events related to Finland's NATO membership deserved clarification, especially when they raised difficult questions about Finnish actions. https://t.co/XGptAqzYmF #Suomi #Nato #Turkki (translated)

Turkey is drifting further away from the goal of joining the European Union, against the backdrop of measures against the LGBTQ+ community and restrictions on press freedom, said European Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, on Friday. Present in the Edirne province in northwestern Turkey, at the inauguration of a railway project funded by the European Union, Marta Kos stated that recent developments regarding press freedom, the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals, and local democracy are pushing Ankara away from the goal of accession.

Hendrik Wüst (CDU) in Ankara über türkische Gastarbeiter in Deutschland: „Ohne diese Menschen wäre nicht möglich gewesen, wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung hinzukriegen nach dem Krieg.“ Ferat Koçak, Carsten Linnemann und Hendrik Wüst mögen diese Fake History in leichten Variationen so oft wiederholen wie sie wollen - sie bleibt Unsinn. Gerade Hendrik Wüst empfehle ich ein Blick auf Fotos von Anfang der 1950er Jahre von seiner eigenen Landeshauptstadt Düsseldorf. Er würde über den Zustand Düsseldorfs so kurz nach dem Kriege möglicherweise ebenso staunen, wie ich gestaunt habe. https://t.co/eTdiRMPDgk #Geschichte #Migration #Wirtschaft
