Jari Mäkäräinen criticized an article in Helsingin Sanomat and said he had made corrections to it. According to him, the nonfiction writer Ari Haasio and Mattila had suggested that Finnish identity was ambiguous, compared the mistrust faced by evacuees from Karelia to current fears directed at Muslims, and stated that everyone was a descendant of immigrants. Mäkäräinen wrote that migration was an old phenomenon, but migrations from different times could not be equated. He noted that the first people arrived in what is now Finland about 11,000 years ago and believed that this did not provide a basis for equating the current migration from Afghanistan or Somalia with the arrivals of earlier traders, craftsmen, or industrial founders. He described Finlayson as an actor that built factories in capital-poor Finland, brought technology, and created jobs. Mäkäräinen compared him to a Mohammed coming from Somalia, who he described as illiterate and dependent on Kela support. He believed these examples illustrated different types of migration and claimed that there were differences in education, employment, cultural distance, and criminality. He also claimed that those coming from Afghanistan were overrepresented in rape statistics. Regarding the evacuees from Karelia, Mäkäräinen wrote that they had come from within Finland, spoke Finnish, and shared key features of Finnish culture. He said they had faced mistrust and derogatory name-calling, but believed they differed from current arrivals from Afghanistan, for example, in terms of adaptation, work ethic, and use of social security. Mäkäräinen also denied the comparison made by Haasio and Mattila between 19th-century antisemitism and the Somali discussions of the 1990s. According to him, the groups were not similar, and Jews had mostly integrated well. He argued that current migrations should be evaluated based on their impacts on employment, crime, and social security. Finally, he wrote that the continuity of society required, in his opinion, the adaptation of newcomers. #maahanmuutto #suomalaisuus #kulttuuri (translated)
Andrej Poglajen wrote that Janez Markeš accused RTV Slovenija in 2005 of taking on the role of a central committee and described its operation as the merging of party strategy, regulated pop culture, and sports with the formation of society and its image abroad. Poglajen claimed that Markeš now praises RTV Slovenija, criticizes the Roman Catholic Church (RKC), although its clergy allegedly brought him basic necessities during times of scarcity, and celebrates things he once publicly rejected. He added that one of the priests was from his hometown of Idrija. He labeled Markeš as a journalist who changes opinions for money and wrote that Markeš referred to him as a "corrupt politician." According to Poglajen, this designation was proof that the younger generations of the Slovenian right are doing something right. He also stated that he would not want the praise of people who, in his opinion, betray their values for personal gain. #slovenskamediji #politika #javnozdravstvo (translated)

To be honest, I actually don't know if it was a happy choice. Nationwide politics and parliament have, I’m not afraid to say, minimal influence on the municipal level. You need to have people on the ground there. When I look at the Christian Democrats, even though they are weak in parliament or at the national level, with about 2.5 percent, they are huge in the municipalities," commented the Minister of Culture Oto Klempíř on this strategy. "For us, it is important to build an organization on the ground, to ensure its functioning and connectivity. This is an important goal because municipal elections have often been considered second-tier elections. However, I believe that this has changed and that municipalities are setting a very, very, very prestigious bar with their importance," Klempíř added. #volby #Praha #Motoristé (translated)
