11:39â˘Border Law Extended Through 2026
â¨The newspapers report on Parliament's decisive vote to extend Finland's border emergency law until the end of 2026, with 168 MPs supporting and 29 opposing the measure (Helsingin Sanomat, Ilta-Sanomat, Suomen Kuvalehti). One government party representative broke ranks to oppose the extension. The vote follows familiar division lines from last year's debates. Finance Minister Riikka Purra responded to an opposition confidence motion, stating that when the opposition eventually understands Finland's true economic challenges, they will thank the government (Suomen Uutiset). Meanwhile, new details emerge about the Pirkkala school stabbing suspect, with reports that the weapon appeared to break immediately at the start of the attack (Aamulehti).
