16.09.2026 ⇢ The Day Two Swedes Were Remanded for Espionage
⌨

Overnight Helsingin Sanomat led with a poll showing the Finns Party closing on Kokoomus while the SDP held first place, and mapped Big Tech data-centre projects as fallout continued from Trump's criticism of Google's Finland investment.

By midday focus converged on suspected espionage after the National Bureau of Investigation sought detention of two men aged 37 and 40, later remanded by a Helsinki court and identified as Swedes accused of photographing in northern Finland. Police also investigated a drone near the Loviisa nuclear plant, while outlets noted an explosives-laden Russian drone on Poland's coast and Finland's first F-35s spotted over the Azores.

In the afternoon President Stubb told MTV Finns should mentally prepare for sabotage. Evening coverage turned to a parliamentary shouting dispute between Jenna Simula and Hanna-Leena Mattila and to an SVT projection giving Sweden's opposition a 99.9 percent win chance.

Mäenpää vaatii energiaturpeen käytön turvaamista: ”Hajautetusti varastoitava energiamuoto takaa huoltovarmuuden”

Eduskunta keskusteli hiljattain turpeesta sinne saapuneen kansalaisaloitteen innoittamana. Perussuomalaisten kansanedustaja Juha Mäenpää muistutti puheenvuorossaan, että turve on ainoa kotimainen, huoltovarma, säävarma sekä helposti ja hajautetusti varastoitava energiamuoto. Hänen mukaansa energiaturpeen käytÜn edellytykset täytyy yksiselitteisesti turvata.

Purra: Ammattiliittojen kritiikki palkka-avoimuudesta ei osu maaliin – direktiivin täysi toteutus olisi sotkenut TES-järjestelmän ja johtanut tuhansiin irtisanomisiin

EU:n palkka-avoimuusdirektiivi oli eilen tiistaina eduskunnan lähetekeskustelussa. Varhaisemmissa lakiesitysluonnoksissa virkamiehet esittivät, että tyÜnantajan olisi pitänyt vertailla eri alojen ja eri tyÜehtosopimusten eri tehtäviä keskenään. Tällä olisi ollut vakavia seurauksia, joten hallitus esittää nyt direktiivin toteuttamista minimivaatimuksin. Ammattiliittojen ja tasa-arvovaltuutetun suunnalta esitettiin eilen kuitenkin moitteita hallituksen esitystä kohtaan. Valtiovarainministeri Riikka Purra kommentoi asiaa.

Suomi jatkaa OECD-maiden tyÜttÜmyyden kärjessä - suomalaisilla vähiten varaa omaan autoon

Jos valtamediaa luet, saatat kuvitella kaiken olevan loistavaa ja uutisten päätteeksi mietit, että suomalaiset ovat kenties tosiaan kuten propagandassa väitetään, maailman onnellisin kansa. Mutta mistä valtamedia ja globalistihallinto eivät halua eikä heidän sallita keskustella, on suomalaisten synkkä todellisuus tyÜttÜminä, yliveroitettuina ja kÜyhinä.
