According to the author, Sanna Marin told Italian media that she would be available in an emergency situation, for example, if Russia attacked Finland. The author thanked Marin and described her as exceptionally noble. He mentioned that Marin also stated in the same interview that she had left politics, but did not mention the reason in his message. #SannaMarin #Politiikka #Suomi #FI #IT #RU (translated)

Saara Huhtasaari wrote that Sanna Marin had been in Italy promoting her book and told Corriere della Sera that she would likely not run for office unless Russia attacked Finland. In that case, according to Huhtasaari, Marin would have said she was available. Huhtasaari interpreted the statement as positioning herself rather than expressing a willingness to be a victim. According to her, Marin implied that conventional political work did not match her capabilities and that only a crisis threatening Finland's existence would be a sufficiently significant task. Huhtasaari compared this to the scale of historical leaders such as Kekkonen, Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, Lee Kuan Yew, and George Washington, using the metaphor of the "Napoleon syndrome" to describe the phenomenon. She specified that she did not mean it as a diagnosis. Huhtasaari also criticized the contradiction between Marin's book discussing hope and the self-image conveyed in the interview. She argued that the role of politics was to build structures that functioned without a single politician. As examples of such builders, she mentioned Lee Kuan Yew, who influenced Singapore's development, and Mart Laar, who made economic and institutional decisions in post-independence Estonia. Huhtasaari believed that there had not been similar builders in Finland for decades and that Marin did not belong to their ranks. According to Huhtasaari, statesmen did not announce in advance when they would return to politics, but either did their job or stepped aside. She criticized Marin for traveling to present her book, which discussed decisions made behind closed doors, and for associating a potential return with Russia's attack. Huhtasaari described this as a fantasy of seeing herself as a historical exception. #SannaMarin #Politiikka #Historia (translated)

Suvi-Anne Siimes considered the matter and the interview important and thanked the building inspector of Muhos for granting the interview. She wrote that municipal officials seemed to be quite alone in such difficult and pressuring situations, and in her opinion, this should not have been the case. https://t.co/gEy6MMaxIw #rakennustarkastus #haastattelu #kuntapolitiikka (translated)

Leena Pihanurmi criticized a multi-page interview published in Seura magazine, in which Demokraatti journalist Susanna Luikku interviewed Vertti Kiukas from Soste ry. According to Pihanurmi, Kiukas expected the leftist government to continue supporting 700 social and health organizations with hundreds of millions of tax euros. Pihanurmi wrote that the number of organization workers and volunteers varied in different Soste sources. He stated that Kiukas announced the number as 1.5 million, whereas earlier it had been reported as 550,000 and 204,271. Pihanurmi characterized the content of the interview as threats and baseless complaints. He claimed it aimed to secure the financing of the bloated sector and its jobs, which he believed were funded by Veikkaus. According to Pihanurmi, the article did not mention that the sector had grown over decades by misleading the poor and those with gambling problems. https://t.co/Inulcjd4lX #politiikka #järjestö #sote (translated)

Jukka-Pekka Puro said he has given numerous expert interviews over the years and later interviews related to the illness, as well as done his own stories.

Professor Paulus Torkki emphasizes in an interview with MTV that a more precise definition of social and healthcare services would be in the interest of all citizens, as the current hidden prioritization may lead to inequality in accessing care. #sote #terveydenhuolto #politiikka (translated)

Tere Sammallahti wrote that an external consulting firm had interviewed Yle's leaders and concluded that Yle operates efficiently and uses its money well. He sarcastically compared this assessment to interviews conducted in a hot tub, based on which the men's cottage weekend beer purchases would have been efficient and cost-effective. https://t.co/g1NovHPf5p #Yle #konsultointi #tehokkuus (translated)

Dennis Mitzner criticized Timo Stewart for suggesting that he believed Israel was an obstacle to the two-state solution. Mitzner argued that the Palestinians had not accepted Israel's state proposals in direct negotiations, the latest of which were the Camp David and Taba offers in 2000–2001, as well as Ehud Olmert's offers in 2008. He added that Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in 2005. According to Mitzner, the PLO's decades-old support for the two-state solution did not indicate that the Palestinians accepted Israel's existence as a Jewish state. Mitzner wrote that Stewart viewed the destruction of Hamas's ideology as unrealistic without killing all people. Mitzner interpreted this to mean that Stewart considered all Gazans as supporters of Hamas's ideology, but he himself said he would not go that far. He referred to Hamas's election in Gaza and claimed that no Gazan had attempted to help Israeli hostages in the past couple of years. Mitzner compared the situation to the Allies' victory over Nazism and the defeat of Japan, as well as the actions of the United Arab Emirates against the Muslim Brotherhood. He stated that the Western left should stop rewarding Palestinian violence and anti-Semitism. According to Mitzner, Stewart claimed that there was no Palestinian state because Israel occupied the territory and did not allow it to become independent. Mitzner denied this and described the area's history: according to him, it belonged to the British mandate from 1917 and prior to that to the Ottoman Empire. He wrote that the Arab leadership rejected the UN's 1947 partition plan, after which Jordan controlled the West Bank and Egypt controlled Gaza without establishing a Palestinian state. According to Mitzner, the territories came under Israeli control in the 1967 war, which Jordan, Egypt, and Syria initiated with the intent to destroy, and the Arab world's negative attitude towards Israel continued with the Khartoum resolution of the three no's. Mitzner claimed that Stewart ignored Palestinian actions and concluded by asking whether the dispute ultimately related to the fact that the opposing side was the Jewish state of Israel. #IsraelinVastaisetAsenteet #Palestiinalaiskysymys #KansainvälinenPolitiikka (translated)

Jari Mäkäräinen criticized Yle for what he perceived as giving Timo R. Stewart, whom he describes as a Hamas activist, an unchallenged platform to present his book. According to Mäkäräinen, the article adopted Stewart's view regarding the destruction of Gaza, genocide, and Finland's responsibility due to trade with Israel, without hearing the opposing side. Mäkäräinen emphasized that, in his opinion, genocide does not equate to heavy war. He wrote that the International Court of Justice had not ruled on the case against Israel and that interim measures were not a judgment. In his view, civilian casualties can occur in urban warfare where Hamas places rockets, command centers, and tunnels among civilians without the intent of destroying the group. He compared this to the battles of Mosul, Raqqa, and Fallujah, claiming that Stewart began using the term genocide after Israel succeeded in its war against Hamas. According to Mäkäräinen, the Yle article also lacked the starting point of the war: the attack on October 7, in which he claims over 1,200 people died, and which involved rapes and kidnappings. He wrote that Hamas aims for the end of Israel instead of a Palestinian state. He criticized the figures presented by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the article—over 21,600 by December 2023 and over 1,400 after ceasefires—and claimed that the ministry was subordinate to Hamas and that its figures did not differentiate between fighters and civilians. In his view, the article also lacked Israel's perspective that a significant portion of the dead were fighters. Regarding the two-state model, Mäkäräinen wrote that its failure was not solely due to Israel. He claimed that Hamas had rejected the model multiple times and that the Palestinian Authority had turned down offers, such as at Camp David in 2000 and Annapolis in 2008. He added that according to polls, the majority of both Palestinians and Israelis had abandoned the model. He described the cessation of support for UNRWA as a reaction to an organization that, according to him, had ample evidence of connections between its facilities and personnel to Hamas. Mäkäräinen believed that Yle, as a publicly funded media, should not advertise a single essayist as an expert. According to him, the article could have included opposing researchers, Israel's official stance, or addressed Hamas's responsibility for hostages and the use of civilians as shields. He concluded by asking why this had not been done. https://t.co/sHriNitmMo #Gaza #Israel #Hamas (translated)

Pjotr Debatt assessed that the interview condensed Fatim Diarra's political career: according to him, Diarra expressed hatred and anger towards misogyny and performed for her assumed supporter group. Debatt claimed that Diarra did not achieve anything concrete, even though she made a lot of noise and used angry rhetoric. https://t.co/Y5AFuRpKoO #politiikka #naisviham #yhteiskunta (translated)

Incredible that Member of Parliament Tuppurainen (sd.) continued in Sanna Ukkola's interview yesterday with a childish demand that the Prime Minister should have appointed someone other than the Minister of Defence for the official trip concerning defense material cooperation with Israel. #politiikka #Suomi #Israeli (translated)

The heavy crown bearer of the SDP, Queen Tytti Tuppurainen, believes that the duties of the Minister of Defense should be handled by another minister, such as the Minister of Culture. In yesterday's A-studio, Tuppurainen wiped the floor with herself quite thoroughly. I certainly can't stop laughing 😂 https://t.co/MCKEVCa2j8 #politiikka #Suomi #haastattelu (translated)

Katsoin A-studion ääriajatteluosion. Kiinnitin huomiota KRP:n haastatteluun, joka spiikattiin toimittajan toimesta näin: ”poliisi tiedotti toissaviikolla, että nuorten äärioikeistolainen väkivalta on ilmiö, josta pitäisi olla huolissaan, ja näin tilannetta kommentoi rikosylitarkastaja, tiedusteluyksikön päällikkö Jaakko Christensen KRP:stä” Ensinnäkin, poliisi ei valtakunnallisesti tiedottanut, vaan @SiSuPoliisi Ennalta estävä toiminto (hyvin pieni yksittäinen pulju) tiedotti. Mikään muu poliisilaitos tai Poliisihallitus ei yhtynyt viestiin. @paularisikko yritti kyllä tehdä aiheella politiikkaa siinä varsinaisesti onnistumatta. @krp_poliisi Christensenin haastattelussa taas puhutaan asioista tuon klipin perusteella paljon laajemmin, siinä ei mm. nimetä äärioikeistoa erikseen ja puhutaan mm. ääriryhmistä, järjestäytyneestä rikollisuudesta ja kyberrikosryhmistä rekrytoivina joukkoina. Jos tulkintani on väärä, KRP voi korjata. Voisi muutenkin tehdä lausunnon asiasta, että mistä on kyse. Omaan silmään ja korvaan tuon klipin perusteella vaikuttaa, että KRP ei nimenomaisesti puhu tässä äärioikeistolaisesta radikalisoitumisesta, vaan laajemmasta ilmiöstä. Jos/kun näin on, melkoinen rimanalitus Yleltä kehystää toimittajan toimesta KRP:n lausunto koskemaan vain äärioikeistolaista ajattelua. Minusta tuntuu, että Yleisradio on aloittanut eduskuntavaalikampanjansa. #ääriajattelu #poliisi #radikalisoituminen

Espoon Mainingin koulun rehtorin Suaad Onniselän haastattelu Migrant Tales -nimisessä julkaisussa on läpeensä kylmäävää luettavaa. Hän haukkuu opetusministeri @adleande ”harjoittavan populistista politiikkaa” ja tietenkin perussuomalaisista hänellä on mielipide: rasisteja ovat. Tyttöjen huiveja, myös kasvot peittäviä hän puolustaa: huivi ”tuo tytölle turvaa” ja ”on hänen oikeutensa”. Suomi vuonna 2026. Niin surullista! Voin suoraan sanoa, että tällaista politikointia ei pidä peruskoulun rehtorilta hyväksyä. Mihin toimiin aiotte ryhtyä,@EspooEsbo @KaiMykkanen? #Suomi #koulutus #politikka
