Mika Merano wrote that it was not about class but corruption. He claimed that Members of Parliament, other significant and former politicians, and their close circles received rewards on the boards of associations funded by tax money or directed funds to their own projects. According to Merano, organizational subsidies and, for example, the funds used for Garden Helsinki were taken from elsewhere and were also reflected in the support received by poor families living on subsidies. He accused politicians of pursuing their own and their close circles' interests and expressed his anger towards such activities. #korruptio #politiikka #veronmaksajat (translated)

Janne Onnela wrote that 4,000 schoolchildren were coming to the match, although many were puzzled by it. According to him, the lack of interest among youth was one of the League's problems, and the schoolchildren would now get to watch the game with their best friends. Onnela estimated that the experience could make them come back again and praised the Jukurit initiative. #justsayin #liiga #jukurit https://t.co/OtruP1chbV #liiga #jukurit #koululaiset (translated)

Jānis Citskovskis wrote that in the published declaration of the former Director of the State Chancellery, Kronbergs, a compensation of 78,982 euros for 4.5 months of work in 2026 was indicated, although his monthly salary, according to Citskovskis, was 6,346 euros. He called on Andris Kulbergs to find out whether, with Prime Minister Evika Siliņa and Kronbergs agreeing on the termination of civil service relations, Kronbergs was also paid a severance allowance of three months' salary — more than 19 thousand euros. Citskovskis pointed out that the KNAB detained Kronbergs on May 14 of this year in a criminal case involving the timber industry, and Siliņa initially suspended him from office. Referring to what Kronbergs told LSM, he wrote that Kronbergs initially wanted to submit his resignation, but Siliņa urged him to reconsider. Later, they agreed to terminate civil service relations as of May 18. In Citskovskis' view, if Kronbergs had left voluntarily, he would not be entitled to the allowance, but the agreement might have allowed him to receive it according to paragraph 3 of section 12.¹ of the Compensation Law. Citskovskis mentioned court decisions in criminal cases regarding, in his opinion, illegal allowances paid to departing employees, including cases involving the former rector of the University of Latvia, Muižnieks, and the former mayor of Mārupe, Enci. He suggested that the agreement between Siliņa and Kronbergs might also be evaluated by the Prosecutor's Office. He also claimed that the amounts paid to Kronbergs were not listed in the salary lists published by the State Chancellery for May 2026, but the SRS only published his declaration submitted on July 5 on the evening of October 2. Citskovskis called on Andris Kulbergs and Mārtiņš Gruškevics to address the officials of the State Chancellery, whom he believes have repeatedly violated the requirement to publish paid salaries. He asserted that the lists tend not to be available precisely in the months when bonuses and cash prizes are paid, such as in December 2025, and that they are published with significant delays. #ValstsKanceleja #Amatpersonas #Transparence (translated)

Petra Nyqvist wrote that in her opinion one of the biggest deceptions of autumn was underway at the expense of taxpayers. She defined a no-go area as a place where authorities are unable to operate, but stated that dealing with ethnic businesses in East Helsinki and Puho did not fit this description: according to her, the service was calm and professional. Nyqvist mentioned that the special assistant to the Minister of Finance Riikka Purra had hinted that she would not dare to go to the area, and pointed out that the same person accused Finland of being anti-masculine. She described the situation as absurd. #Suomi #ItäHelsinki #verot (translated)

The iron chancellor praised Grok Bot and mentioned that he had implemented bots in several routine tasks. According to him, they managed the calendar, emails, and Drive, reminded about routines and unpaid bills, and retrieved key codes for the cottage by speaking to the car. The iron chancellor also stated that one bot was leading a project that had three coders. Two of them were, according to him, ordinary Grok discussions, and meetings were held using the agents' own email addresses. He said he accepted the question cards raised by the bots and monitored token usage. Additionally, according to him, his bots were already messaging his friends' bots, and he planned to only give others his agent's address in the future and leave Gmail for campaign messages. #tekoäly #automaatiota #teknologia (translated)

She wrote that the Finns Party members did not dare to go outside and wondered what kind of reality they lived in. #politiikka #Perussuomalaiset #Suomi (translated)

This is no longer just a political blunder, but probably the most humiliating national failure in the history of Finland's industry. This analysis reveals black on white how totally and blindly the Finnish state leadership has sold the interests of its own citizens in front of the marketing department of Silicon Valley. Let's break down this "sleight of hand" into three devastating facts that make the government's actions completely inexcusable. First of all, despite all the prime minister-level hype, promises, and the liturgy of the green transition, the outcome is harsh. As a result of Google's massive investments, no new electricity production is being built in Finland—zero megawatts. The company's marketing department worded it so cleverly that the government, desperately thirsty for economic growth, swallowed the bait completely baffled. The leadership was smilingly taken in front of cameras as a guarantor for a project that will not bring a single new watt to the Finnish grid. The second issue is the hijacking of national base power. This is the real, chilling bomb of the news. Since no new electricity will come, where will these massive data centers draw their power? The answer: from our nuclear power. The analysis reveals that as much as 500 megawatts of Finland's nuclear power capacity is dedicated exclusively to Google until 2050. This nuclear power is not just any electricity. It is precisely that stable, weather-independent base power that is vital for Finland's price stability and security of supply. The government is thus surrendering half a gigawatt of infrastructure intended to safeguard Finnish citizens during cold days to a multinational monopoly for the next quarter century. Thirdly, the master has definitively become a servant. When 500 megawatts of stable nuclear power is tied to Google's inflexible use, and no new capacity is brought in, the mathematical equation is devastating for the Finnish consumer. When a calm cold spell strikes in January, our electricity grid will lack that 500-megawatt lifesaver. It is dedicated to AI computation, and the ordinary Finnish citizen will pay for it with horrendous spikes in market electricity prices and increased transmission fees from Fingrid. The Finnish government allowed a multinational company to blind itself with platitudes and let a foreign entity walk straight into the national switchboard. This is not an investment in Finland. This is a hostile resource grab, which the country's own leadership blessed with a smile, sacrificing the energy security and purchasing power of Finns at the altar of the company's marketing trick. In democracy, there is one simple and ruthless rule: if the highest leadership of the state cannot defend the interests of its own people, it must step aside. Looking at this chain of events and the facts revealed by Talouselämä, the demand for Prime Minister Orpo's resignation is no longer just political shouting. It is the only logical conclusion in a situation where the head of government has shown a total lack of judgment in securing national infrastructure and the economy. The prime minister's job is to be the master in his own country. His task is to sit at the negotiating table, look the world's richest companies in the eye, and say: "This is our grid, our nuclear power, and our nature. You will pay for the infrastructure, you will build the new electricity, and you will pay the royalties here. Otherwise, you can take your servers elsewhere." If the prime minister is not capable of this—if he is so desperate that he can be led by a marketing department's word games like a measuring cup—he does not have the backbone that leading Finland requires in this global squeeze. Then there is only one right action: hand the keys back to the people and resign. #Suomi #politiikka #energiapolitiikka (translated)
