Mikael Lith disputed the claim by Muhis Azizi, the leading figure of the Turku Coalition, that the racism scandals of the True Finns had led to a decline in the support for the Coalition.

Lith reminded that Azizi had already described the immigration policies of the government program in 2023 as "unequal" and "discriminatory." https://t.co/s1Hs3RHY2I #politiikka #maahanmuutto #rasismi (translated)

Tuulia Alanko wrote that many others besides traditional supporters of the Finns Party had also expressed similar views, in her opinion. She praised Riikka and the Finns Party ministers for their responsibility and ability to implement. Alanko stated that the Finns Party, according to her, did not want to serve the elite or accept unrestricted use of taxpayers' money. She criticized the Social Democrats for their talk about civil society and believed that climate actions alone did not address the challenges related to immigration or hybrid operations. Alanko described the Minister of the Interior as having acted to reform immigration policy and demanded changes to open invitations for immigration and the granting of citizenship. She also praised the Finns Party Minister of Justice for changing the line on criminal law and tightening penalties, even though, according to her, he had been criticized for populism. Alanko wrote that neither Riikka nor other members of the Finns Party should change their positions to please everyone. She believed the party would maintain its stance despite red-green criticism and pressure, describing the Finns Party as a caretaker party. #persut #poliitika #Suomi (translated)

Roni Arvonen wrote that, according to him, the people did not like the "forced lying" of tax funds, unlimited immigration, or Minister Partanen's wastefulness. He estimated that more daring action from the National Coalition Party could change the course, but described the party and its people as weak. Arvonen hoped that the National Coalition Party would remain permanently behind the Finns Party. #politiikka #verotus #maahanmuutto (translated)

He referenced Suomen Uutiset on October 7, 2026, as well as Suomen Perustaan / Ruotsilaan. #maahanmuutto #Yhdysvallat #talous (translated)

Tuulia Alanko wrote that the Finns Party had risen to become the second largest party and noted that there were just over six months until the elections. According to her, voters recognized who could take responsibility and commit to balancing the economy while prioritizing Finns.

Mika Merano wrote that he considers the support development of the Finns Party to be positive. According to him, the party's support had tended to rise before the parliamentary elections and was greater than the polling numbers in the elections. He hoped that the development would continue until the elections and assessed that the support for the Finns Party would mean less corruption and immigration as well as prioritizing citizens. Merano congratulated the Left Alliance on their record results. He assessed that this was due to positive work and offering genuine alternatives, although he considered these alternatives to be poor and extremely harmful himself. He was not surprised by the Greens' support remaining stagnant, as he believed the Left Alliance already offered everything that the Greens did, and described the Greens' communication as sour whining. Regarding the situation of the Centre Party, Merano wrote metaphorically that the party's sun had set behind the culverts. He described the Centre Party's election speeches as promises of cheap fuel for tractors. #perussuomalaiset #eduskuntavaalit #suomi (translated)

The party noted that there is just over half a year until the elections and stated that they aim to have a Prime Minister from Riga. #perussuomalaiset #ps #perussuomalaiset #vaalit #Suomi (translated)
