    Second supplementary budget for 2025HE 58/2025 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Pari suomalaista sananlaskua tulee mieleen: ”sitä tikulla silmään, joka vanhoja muistelee”, ja sitten on toinen sanonta ”päivät tulevat peräkkäin”. Aika valtavan monta kertaa kuulin siellä aitiossa istuessani teiltä, nykyinen ministeri Purra, puheenvuoroja siitä, miten valtion velkaantuminen oli vain…

    Reintroducing anti-personnel minesHE 56/2025 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Tämä on vakavien aikojen, huolestuttavan tilannekuvan, vakavan mielen hallituksen esitys. Oma arvioni sen tarpeellisuudesta nojaa nimenomaan Puolustusvoimien muuttuneeseen kantaan, ja esitys on siksi tarpeellinen ja välttämätön. Me olemme pieni kansa. Meillä on laaja maantiede.

Me olemme päätyneet maailman jännitteiseen aikaan, jossa myös Suomeen kohdistuu naapurimaamme erilaisia vaikuttamispyrkimyksiä, kyber‑ ja hybridioperaatioita, ja niiden äärellä me emme voi olla naiiveja, vaan myös se, miten me toimimme yhdessä, se, miten tämä eduskunta ja Suomen poliittinen…

Olen istunut useammankin kerran opposition hiillostettavana nyt samalla paikalla istuvan valtiovarainministeri Purran kanssa.

    Supplementing the 2024 budget proposalHE 86/2023 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Perussuomalaiset, te olette nyt vallassa ja vastuussa. [Oikealta: Onneksi!] Huomaan valtiovarainministerin olevan ehkä hiukan hermostunut tästä keskustelusta enkä oikein ymmärrä, miksi. Jos teillä on todellakin niin kovaa maata jalkojenne alla ja linjanne on niin vakuuttava ja selvä ja olette sinut…

    Supplementing the 2024 budget proposalHE 86/2023 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Valtiovarainministeri Purra, teidän vahtivuorollanne Suomi velkaantuu historiallisella tavalla. [Vasemmalta: Kyllä!] Siksi pidän perusteltuna, että olette tuoneet esiin lisäsopeutusten tarpeen. Sitä en kuitenkaan pidä oikeana, vaan pidän sitä järkyttävänä, että ensimmäiset ehdotuksenne siitä, mistä…

    Central government budget for 2024HE 41/2023 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Käytän nyt puheenvuoron, jota mietin, että kannattaako tätä sanoa ääneen. Olen istunut useammankin kerran opposition hiillostettavana nyt samalla paikalla istuvan valtiovarainministeri Purran kanssa. Olen kuullut moneen kertaan moitteita, arvostelua ja silloin koettuna kohtuuttomaksi tuntunutta…

    Central government budget for 2024HE 41/2023 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Tämä on arvokasta keskustelua, ja on hienoa, että ministereillä on aikaa käyttää eduskunnan kanssa debatoimalla ja puolustamalla omaa linjaansa ja kuulla meidän vaihtoehtoja. On ollut hirveän silmiinpistävää ja tavallaan ymmärrettävää, että kun hallitus on vähän heikoilla, niin se vastaus kuuluu,…

    Central government budget for 2024HE 41/2023 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Kyllä minusta täällä on ihan oikein oppositio hoitanut velvollisuuttaan ja muistuttanut siitä kuuluisasta politiikan ytimestä, puheiden ja tekojen ristiriidasta — siitä itse kukin on saanut maistaa lääkettä vuorollaan. Kyllä, edustaja Kauma, te lupasitte, että on aika lopettaa velaksi eläminen,…

    Central government budget for 2024HE 41/2023 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Toden totta on nyt toivottavaa, että saamme tänne eduskuntaan mahdollisimman nopeasti hallitukselta selvityksen ja käsityksen siitä, mitä kaikkea nyt jo tiedämme tästä sabotaasista Suomenlahdella ja tästä jo aiemmin mainitsemastani yhteistyöstä sekä Naton suuntaan — Nato osaltaan on kommentoinut jo…
