Justice in politics: filling the empty phrase

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 31, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

All parties throw around the term justice. But what is really fair? A little theory might help.

Justice is not achieved through a party, but in court Photo: Panama Pictures/imago

Again and again, parties swear how extremely “fair” things would be if they were entrusted with power. In doing so, they alienate this concept and that is presumptuous.

The FDP describes “four proposals for more justice” on its website, the AfD even demanded a law for “social justice” and the SPD called for “more time for justice”. How can it be that parties that could hardly be more different all use the same phrase?

What is striking is that in left-wing politics the term is often used as a synonym for “equality” and in right-wing politics it is used at best as a concession for “equal opportunities” with accepted unequal results. But the crucial point is: does a low-earner only feel it is “unfair” that the boss can afford more because of his situation, or would he feel it is “fair” if he himself were the boss? This makes it obvious how subjective the sense of justice is.

Obfuscate for knowledge

In order to detach the sense of justice from such purely pragmatic, often egoistic, demands arising from the individual situation and to neutralize it, the thought experiment of the well-known legal philosopher John Rawls helps. He suggested thinking about a fair distribution in society in an idealized situation, without knowing what role one plays in society.

What this Harvard professor has developed with his scientifically recognized definition is a liberal standpoint. It is about “equal basic freedoms”, even if the outcome is unequal. This is more convincing than the orientation towards factually existing equality and inequality. It is about “equal basic freedoms”, even if the outcome is unequal. However, the starting conditions can never be equal, as they are shaped by ancestry, educational opportunities, and so on. Because this is simply reality, redistribution must continue until people voluntarily give in to those above and below.

However, such political redistribution is not called “justice” but “welfare”, and in reality this includes, among other things, basic child benefits, citizen’s allowance, protection against dismissal and social spending.

In conclusion, it is meaningless when parties claim to be committed to “justice”. But there is nothing wrong with proclaiming “more equal treatment” or “more harmonization” or even “more state welfare” as political goals.

Basic Finns ride with two strollers, the explanation is left to Orpo – 2024-08-30 00:19:23

Beneath the turmoil of the anti-racism campaign, the big issue of work-based immigration is simmering in the government, writes Iltaleh’s Juha Ristamäki.

Basic Finns ride with two strollers, the explanation is left to Orpo
– 2024-08-30 00:19:23

Prime Minister Orpo at the opening of the anti-racism campaign on Tuesday. Fanni Uusitalo, Government Office

First, racism rocked basic Finns and the entire government in the summer of 2023. As a result, the government published a statement from the Government, which also included the launch of an anti-racism campaign. The whole government committed to this, so that the uproar could be put aside little by little.

On Tuesday morning in the Little Finland meeting rooms in Helsinki, the campaign in question was spectacularly kicked off under the leadership of the Prime Minister.

Through the Commitment2050 online service, the “We talk with actions” campaign invites organizations to fight against racism with concrete means.

Riikka Purra, the chairperson of Perussuomalaiset, took action immediately and announced at the party’s summer meeting in Kouvola that Perussuomalaiset as a party is unlikely to participate in the campaign.

Of course, Purra also reiterated that Perussuomalaiset has committed to the communication approved last year, on the basis of which a program of measures has been drawn up and an anti-racism campaign has now been launched.

But the commotion was ready again.

The political opposition will make sure that in the fall it will be heard from every corner that Perusfinlomaiset will not commit to the anti-racism campaign.

Prime Minister Orpo has and will have to explain.

It is very difficult for the Prime Minister to credibly tell why the government’s second largest party is not participating in the government’s campaign as a party. The opposition will tell the whole nation “how weak leader Orpo is”.

However, Orpo will swallow this because he wants to keep his government together so that it can complete its adjustment and labor market measures. So Orpo does not engage in an open battle with basic Finns.

The Basic Finns know this and that’s why they ride with two strollers.

PS’s ministerial and parliamentary group are committed to the anti-racism campaign, but the party is not.

It is a message to the party’s voters that even though the party in the government has had to commit to the campaign, it still has strong reservations about the campaign.

Basic Finns feel that the concept of racism has been expanded so much that political measures to curb immigration are also being subsumed under it. Criticizing and opposing immigration is the hard core of PS, and it cannot be undermined by any campaigns.

The action of the opposition parties in terms of participating in the racism campaign then has its own chapter. Both the SDP and the Greens have announced that they will not participate in the campaign because it is “polishing the government’s reputation” and it “washes the government’s hands of racism”.

The logic is a bit difficult to understand. SDP and the Greens therefore do not want to support anti-racism measures, because the initiator of these anti-racism measures is the wrong party.

Under the turmoil of the anti-racism campaign, the big issue of work-related immigration is simmering in the government.

RKP chairman Anders Adlercreutz outlined at the summer meeting of the party’s parliamentary group that more work-based immigration is needed in Finland. According to Adlercreutz, immigration registrations should be renegotiated as early as next week’s budget meeting.

Basic Finns dismissed Adlercreutz’s opening of raising net immigration to an annual level of 40,000 as “completely impossible”, and the coalition is not warming up to the numerical goal either.

The governing parties do not have a common view on how much and what kind of work-related immigration they are trying to attract to Finland.

Recently, employee residence permits have been granted mostly to the cleaning industry, industry, and care and health services, not to highly educated professionals. At the same time, we have widespread unemployment of more than 400,000 people.

Ikea challenges Vinted and Wallapop with the launch of its second-hand furniture sales platform

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 27, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Ikea has launched Ikea Preowned in Spain, its new platform for buying and selling second-hand products from the Swedish brand to give them a second life, challenging platforms such as eBay, Vinted and Wallapop. The CEO of Ingka, the main operator of Ikea stores, Jesper Brodin, welcomed the launch of this initiative, as he told the English newspaper ‘Financial Times’, as reported by Europa Press. “This was a dream that we had been wanting to make a reality for some time. We are at a time when we can do more advanced and great things. There is incredible confidence that the company will evolve digitally,” he stressed. In this way, Brodin has announced that Madrid and Oslo are the cities chosen to test this platform until the end of the year and after the tests carried out in these countries, the objective is to extend it to all the countries where the Swedish multinational has a presence. Ikea Preowned aims to tackle the second-hand market by allowing customers to sell directly to each other, a sector in which Brodin says Ikea has a larger market share than in the sale of new furniture. The Swedish multinational says this initiative is part of a set of efforts it makes to reduce the use of resources and the transition to a circular business. “We hope to encourage waste reduction and extend the life of our products by finding a new home for them,” says Ikea on its website. For the Ingka Group, this includes offering services to customers such as buying back products that are no longer needed, providing assembly parts, investing in companies such as ‘RetourMatras’, which recycles mattresses to turn them into materials for new mattresses, and advocating and positively influencing the private sector and governments to promote the transition to a circular economy. In this way, the new second-hand furniture sales platform, like buying on Ikea.com, searches for items near the customer, agrees a price and a collection point between the buyer and the seller. With the launch of Ikea Preowned, the Swedish multinational is strengthening its commitment to sustainability and the circular economy, where it had the ‘Ikea Circular Market’, where you could buy from a selection of products to give them a new life: products that have returned to the store thanks to the buy-back service, discontinued products or items with minor aesthetic damage.

“It would send the message that terrorism can get results” – 2024-08-26 14:29:46

SDP chairman Antti Lindtman demands that Petteri Orpo’s (kok) government take action so that Finland recognizes the state of Palestine. Miia Sirén

The SDP party government’s demand that Finland should take action to recognize Palestine has been both praised and criticized by other parties.

Chairman of SDP Antti Lindtman wrote on Sunday in the message service X that Finland threatens to be on the wrong side of history. Lindtman reminded that more than 140 UN member countries have already recognized the Palestinian state.

– The government should take action on the matter as soon as this fall. Everything possible must be done to end the cycle of violence, Lindtman wrote.

According to Lindtman, the risk of escalation is increasing and therefore the cycle of violence must be stopped immediately.

– A very welcome exit, great, commented the MEP from the Left Alliance Jussi Saramo Opening of SDP.

In the opinion of Tere Sammallahde, a member of parliament from the coalition, the recognition of Palestine gives greater incentives for the continuation of terrorism and war. PASI LEISMA

Sammallahti reviewed

Instead, the Prime Minister’s Party coalition MP Hello Sammallahti asked Lindtman how to break the cycle of violence by rewarding jihadist and anti-Semitic terrorists with their own state. In Sammallahde’s opinion, the recognition of Palestine gives greater incentives for the continuation of terrorism and war.

– What other awards is SDP ready to give to the rapist murderers of Hamas, Sammallahti asked.

Chairman of the parliamentary group of Christian Democrats in the ruling party Peter Östmanin according to, now is not the time to recognize Palestine.

Östman also serves as the chairman of the parliament’s Israel friendship group.

– First, a ceasefire is needed in the region, the hostages must be released, and after that the negotiation processes to promote peace forward. Recognizing the state of Palestine now would send a message that terrorism can achieve results, Östman stated in the press release.

According to Peter Östman, the chairman of the parliamentary group of the Christian Democrats, the Palestinian state can only be created with a mutual agreement between Israel and the Palestinians. Petteri Plasma

“Only by mutual agreement”

According to Östman, the Palestinian state can only be created through a mutual agreement between Israel and the Palestinians, and not through external coercion.

– The two-state model in the region can only be realized in conditions that build trust; not now and not in the future under the leadership of the terrorist organization Hamas. The problem is that the majority of Palestinians also in the West Bank support Hamas’s violence against Israel, Östman pointed out.

According to Östman, it is not possible to negotiate or build cooperation with a country that is openly waging war and pursuing its own interests with its military actions until it stops its attacks. According to him, Hamas and Hezbollah must first stop the terrorist rocket attacks so that Israel does not have to constantly defend itself against the attackers.

– It must also be stated that the Palestinian Authority in its current form does not have the administrative, financial or structural prerequisites to become an independent state, Östman stated.

The government is still not worth it

Sweden has already recognized Palestine in 2014 and Norway announced in May that it would recognize Palestine.

Foreign minister Elina Valtonen (kok) said in an interview with Helsingin Sanomat at the end of May that Finland is not ready to recognize Palestine now. According to Valtonen, Finland prefers to recognize Palestine as part of a process that advances towards a truly peaceful solution for two states.

President of the Republic Alexander Stubb has also said that Finland will at some point recognize the state of Palestine.

– We are not pro-Israel, not pro-Palestine, but pro-peace, Stubb commented, among other things, during his state visit to Estonia in May. According to Stubb, a ceasefire is needed first.

Foreign Minister of the previous government Pekka Haavisto (Vihr), on the other hand, has said that it supports the recognition of Palestine.

Yle asked about the positions of the parliamentary groups on the recognition of Palestine at the end of May.

Chairman of Liike Nyt Harry Harkimon think that Finland should recognize Palestine, the Greens and the Left Alliance should recognize Palestine as well. The center, the coalition and the RKP did not consider the time to be right yet. Basic Finns and Christian Democrats opposed the recognition of Palestine.

In the spring, SDP’s position was even more cautious and that of the chairman of the parliamentary group Tytti Tuppurainen according to the party’s view is that at some point Palestine must be recognized.

Finance minister Riikka Purra (ps) and the Minister of the Interior Mari Rantanen (ps) will hold a press conference at 11:45 a.m. today, Thursday. The media was told about the event only on Thursday at nine o’clock.

Iltalehti shows the event live and follows its twists and turns in live text format.

According to the Ministry of the Interior’s communications, the topic of the press conference will not be made public before the event begins.

A possible topic for Purra and Rantanen’s press conference is savings for the police.

The government has promised to increase the number of police officers to 8,000 by the end of the election period.

However, the protection police is having to reduce its personnel. The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of the Interior have proposed a reduction of 78 personal work years to the protection police.

Supo’s manager Juha Martelius told Helsingin Sanomat that the savings have a big impact on supo’s ability to acquire information and analyze the collected information.

Suomen Kuvalehti reported on Wednesday that savings are already being made to the police: temporary employment contracts are to be cut and police work-related travel is to be limited.

Chairman of the Union of Finnish Police Organizations (SPJL). Jonne Rinne told SK that, according to the union’s information, police departments have begun to save on purchases, equipment repair costs, temporary employment relationships, and evening, night, overtime, and weekend work.

The Minister of the Interior, Mari Rantanen, will take a stand on the savings for the police at a press conference. JANI BIRCH FABRIC
