Juanca said that he did not know if it would be possible to apply the tax reduction proposed by Vox, but he suggested cutting expenses that he considered unnecessary. He questioned whether there were 22 ministries and asked if so many were necessary and how much useless political spending they generated. He compared that number with the 13 ministries of Rajoy's Government, which he pointed out was a 40% reduction, and gave as examples the departments of Agenda 2030, Inclusion, Social Security and Migrations, and Equality. He also stated that people were being treated as if they were stupid. #Política #GastosPúblicos #Gobierno (translated)

Yaron Nadbornik criticized Heikki Hiilamo's column published in Yleisradio, stating that it presented a one-sided image connecting the actions of Israel's leadership, Finnish Christian groups, and Minister Antti Häkkänen's visit to the structures of oppression. Nadbornik argued that the column's treatment of Israel and Zionism made Jews collectively responsible and expanded the criticism to also include Israel's supporters and Jews in general. According to Nadbornik, Hiilamo's text divided the parties into white and Christian oppressors and non-white and Muslim victims. He said this framing overlooked the Jewish roots, history, and vulnerability in the Middle East, as well as the fact that millions of people from various backgrounds lived in Israel. He also believed that the framework wrongly fit the conflict into a narrative of Western colonialism and racism and presented Israel as a refuge for a people without another homeland. Nadbornik wrote that the prejudices against Jews were based on their otherness. He noted that studies had shown that Jews living in the diaspora were unjustly held accountable for the actions of the state of Israel. He argued that Hiilamo's rhetoric, which connected Christian groups and ministerial visits with the suffering in Gaza, reinforced this framework. Nadbornik recalled the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, describing it as a massacre involving rapes, mutilations, and the abduction of civilians, including babies, festival-goers, and the elderly, into Israel. He called it the largest single act of violence against Jews since the Holocaust. According to Nadbornik, Hiilamo overlooked the fact that Hamas and Hezbollah openly sought the destruction of Israel in connection with Israel's military actions. He believed that framing the terror attack merely as a security threat or comparing it to Russia's invasion of Ukraine ignored the rights of Israeli citizens to exist and be protected. https://t.co/PFvBFdaoiQ #Israel #Juutalaiset #Rasismi (translated)

In my understanding, the most important thing is that defense funding is used purposefully for necessary acquisitions. Because, as experience has shown, the ministry must respond very dynamically and actively to changes in this market, the arms market – both in acquisitions and the emergence of new technologies, not remaining a passive observer. Members of the National Security and Defense Committee of the Seimas and former Minister of National Defense Arvydas Anušauskas believe that the use of nearly 44% of the funding allocated to the Ministry of National Defense (KAM) this year does not, in itself, indicate any problems. #gynyba #finansavimas #Lietuva (translated)
