04.08.2026 ⇢ The Day Purra Presented the Budget
⌨

The day was dominated by Finance Minister Riikka Purra's budget proposal for 2027, which included tax cuts across all income brackets, increased defense spending, and a deficit of 12.9 billion euros. Coverage began in the morning with live broadcasts of Purra's comments on economic growth and continued through the afternoon as she unveiled the full proposal, with outlets highlighting key points like tax incentives and state interest costs. The Ceuta migration crisis remained a secondary focus, with Interior Minister Rantanen defending her earlier comments and receiving support from EU counterparts, though domestic criticism persisted. Other stories included the death of actor Kari Sorvali, a controversy over Ozempic ads in gyms, and a fatal car crash in Kaarina, but none displaced the budget as the lead editorial priority.

Ylen A-studiossa juontaja jänkkäsi maanantai-iltana tarmokkaasti sitä, oliko sisäministeri Mari Rantasen kannanotto Espanjan mahdollisesta sulkemisesta Schengen-järjestelmän ulkopuolelle hallituksen linjaus vai ei. Puolueiden varapuheenjohtajien sanan säilät kipinÜivät myÜs siitä, oliko Espanjan Ceutassa tapahtunut EU:n ulkorajan romahtaminen ilmastopakolaisuutta vai perustuiko se huhuihin ja perättÜmiin lupauksiin helpommasta elämästä.

Espanjan tapahtumat ovat karu muistutus rajaturvallisuuden merkityksestä – Seppänen: ”Kun rajat pettävät, koko valtio pettää”

Perussuomalaisten kansanedustaja Sara Seppänen pitää Espanjan tapahtumia karuna muistutuksena siitä, mitä tapahtuu, kun valtio menettää otteensa rajaturvallisuutensa ylläpitämisestä. Seppäsen mielestä rajat eivät ole pelkkä viiva kartalla, vaan ne ovat valtion koko suvereniteetin näkyvin ilmentymä. - Jos valtio ei päätä, kuka sen alueelle saapuu, mitä suvereniteetista on jäljellä? Seppänen pohtii.
