⌨The newspapers report on the election of a new American pope, with discussions about his selection name possibly containing a message (Iltalehti, Ilta-Sanomat, Hufvudstadsbladet, Maaseudun Tulevaisuus, MTV Uutiset, Turun Sanomat). Former Foreign Minister Timo Soini shares his thoughts on the new pope (Ilta-Sanomat). Prime Minister Petteri Orpo argues against 60% taxation rates, stating most tax reductions will benefit low and middle-income earners (Verkkouutiset). A new development involves Lasse Lehtonen, described as extremely intelligent but difficult, becoming Kela's new director despite causing friction at HUS for years (Helsingin Sanomat).
