12.09.2026 ⇢ The Day Before Sweden's Election
⌨

Overnight editors looked across the Gulf of Bothnia to Sweden's Sunday vote, with Hufvudstadsbladet contrasting images of Sweden and Helsingin Sanomat reporting a former gang suburb calmed by residents and police, while Ilta-Sanomat and Iltalehti followed a drone strike from Iraq that closed Saudi Arabia's critical oil pipeline.

By morning the focus turned inward to the Pisa slump and immigration, with experts debating immigrants' role and Hjallis Harkimo issuing a hard line, alongside warnings of a Russian cable-cutting weapon test spotted by NATO and a split between ministers Tavio and Valtonen over Israel trade curbs.

Afternoon returned to Sweden as a three-way drama with the prime minister sidelined, before evening papers converged on sport: Finland's five-set volleyball win over Belgium and Jere Karalahti's clear victory over Immu IlmĂŠn.

⌨The newspapers turn to Sweden's parliamentary election ahead of Sunday's vote (Hufvudstadsbladet, Kansan Uutiset, Helsingin Sanomat), contrasting images of Sweden as safe or not, noting a transformed gang suburb and a Social Democrat poll lead. New attention also goes to the drone attack from Iraq on Saudi Arabia's oil pipeline (Ilta-Sanomat, Iltalehti), followed live. Other front pages stay fragmented on local Tampere cuts and Oulu housing disputes (Aamulehti, Kaleva).

Suomen EU-liittymissopimus 1995 on todistettavasti tÜrkeä valtiopetos. Neuvoa-antava kansanäänestyskin 1994 oli vain silmänkääntÜtemppu jo aikaisemmin tehdyn valtiojohdon petollisen rikoksen peittelemiseksi. Valtiopetokset oikaistaan vain tuomioistuinlaitoksessa. Suomessa ei ole vieläkään riippumatonta perustuslakituomioistuinta. Kolumnin aiheesta on kirjoittanut Sinikka Tyynelä.
