28.01.2026The Day of the SDP Inner Circle Fracture
Early morning coverage focused on the intensifying security vacuum, with editors analyzing the trillion-euro cost for Europe to replace U.S. defense guarantees. This geopolitical anxiety was compounded by reports of a 'disappeared' Joe Biden and forensic details regarding the killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, which sparked protests and pepper-spray deployments at a commander’s hotel in Finland.
By midday, the focus shifted to domestic economic instability, specifically the decline of the Euro against the Swedish Krona and disputes over new food legislation favoring imports over local production.
The evening cycle was dominated by a sudden internal crisis within the Social Democratic Party (SDP). Editors prioritized allegations from MP Pia Hiltunen regarding workplace bullying and inappropriate treatment by Tytti Tuppurainen. While party leadership attempted a defense on national television, the story rapidly escalated into a primary scandal, overshadowing ongoing debates about the national debt and U.S. negotiations over Greenland.

Helsingin pörssissä vuosi 2025 oli ennätyksellinen. Yleisindeksi kohosi 23 %. Ennätyksen toiseen suuntaan teki valtion velka. Tappiota tuli 43 miljardia eli 48 % noin 90 miljardin vuosibudjetista. Se kertoo koruttomasti, että nykyjärjestelmässä valtion talous ja pörssi kulkevat eri suuntiin. Pörssillä ei voida pelastaa valtion taloutta. Kolumnin MV-lehteen on kirjoittanut Jouko Miettinen.
