26.03.2026 ⇢ The Day Räsänen Was Convicted
⌨

Finnish media's editorial priority shifted from the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict to domestic legal developments when the Supreme Court convicted former minister Päivi Räsänen for incitement against an ethnic group. Throughout the morning, multiple outlets including HS, IS, Iltalehti, and HBL reported the conviction and Räsänen's reaction, with conservative sources highlighting political commentary while international coverage continued on Ukraine peace negotiations. By early afternoon, attention remained on legal developments as outlets reported on the release of a 19-year-old mother acquitted of infanticide in Lohja and calls for lower reporting thresholds for hate speech. Evening coverage saw some return to international conflicts with Iran rejecting U.S. peace proposals and Trump delaying strikes, but the Räsänen conviction remained the dominant domestic story across Finnish media.
