Key points of the debate

The debate focused on the supplement to the 2026 budget as well as the Government's overall economic policy stance and indebtedness. The government parties stressed the necessity of difficult adjustment measures and targeted investments, such as funding for the personal doctor model and transport infrastructure projects. The opposition strongly criticised the additional borrowing, weak economic and employment trends, and cuts targeting education and social security.

Has the Government's economic and adjustment policy succeeded in curbing debt growth?
Are offsetting the cancellation of cuts to the film industry with savings in education and the targeting of tax cuts fair?
Are eastern Finland and the investment needs of different regions treated equitably enough?

National Coalition PartyIn favour
The group supported the supplementary budget, emphasising responsible fiscal management, structural reforms, and growth investments in primary healthcare and infrastructure.
”Meidän linjamme on tehdä vaikeat päätökset nyt, jotta Suomi voi pärjätä huomenna.”
— Janne Jukkola
Finns PartyIn favour
The group considered fiscal adjustment and long-term work necessary, and commended the proposal's investments in the personal doctor model, security, and road projects.
”Emme ole kuitenkaan akuutissa kriisissä, ja valituksen ja panikoinnin sijaan on vain jatkettava työtä, seuraavalla hallituskaudella ja todennäköisesti sitäkin seuraavalla.”
— Riikka Purra
Swedish People's PartyIn favour
The group supported the proposal and welcomed in particular the 40 million euros in funding for the personal doctor model as well as measures to promote entrepreneurship and the green transition.
”Yksi täydentävän esityksen tärkeimpiä panostuksia on omalääkärimallin valtakunnallinen edistäminen, ja hallitus panostaa tähän 40 miljoonan euron verran.”
— Otto Andersson
Christian DemocratsIn favour
The group defended the Government's adjustment measures and the proposal's investments in security and reducing the taxation of labour.
”Ensi vuoden budjetissa korostuvat vastuullisuus, vakaus ja uudistuminen.”
— Peter Östman
Social DemocratsAgainst
The group criticised the growth in debt and the weak economic and employment situation, and considered that the Government's policies were undermining confidence and purchasing power.
”Tässä nyt esitetään lainanottotarpeeksi lisää vielä yli 640 miljoonaa, ja sitä summaa ei voi kyllä vähätellä.”
— Pia Viitanen
Centre PartyAgainst
The group considered the growth in debt worrying and criticised the neglect of projects in eastern Finland, although it welcomed the advancement of the personal doctor model.
”Mutta kun ajatellaan Suomen talouden tilannetta ja tätä täydentävää esitystä, niin onhan se huolestuttavaa, että meidän velkaantuminen jälleen kasvaa, 644 miljoonaa.”
— Markus Lohi
GreensAgainst
The group opposed targeting cuts at education and considered the Government's economic policy short-sighted and detrimental to confidence.
”Se, että tämä leikkaus siirretään koulutusleikkauksiin eikä esimerkiksi ympäristölle haitallisiin tukiin, on kuitenkin äärimmäisen lyhytnäköistä.”
— Saara Hyrkkö
Left AllianceAgainst
The group condemned the Government's cuts to low-income earners and education alongside simultaneous tax cuts, as well as the continued debt accumulation.
”Velkaantuminen lisääntyy tällä esityksellä jälleen, nyt 644 miljoonaa euroa, ja tämä on jälleen uusi osoitus hallituksen talouspolitiikan epäonnistumisesta.”
— Hanna Sarkkinen
Movement NowAgainst
The group took the view that the Government's economic policy and adjustment calculations had failed and that borrowing continues to be too high.
”Ei ole tälläkään Orpon ja Purran hallituksella homma hanskassa.”
— Harry Harkimo
Timo Vornanen's groupIn favour with reservations
The speaker supported the Government's approach to prioritisation, but considered that secondary spending such as immigration and development aid should be cut even further.
”Vaikka hallitus ja perussuomalaiset ovat kuluneen hallituskauden aikana tehneet hyvää työtä, mielestäni on selvää, että toissijaisista valtion menokohteista ei ole vielä tingitty tarpeeksi.”
— Timo Vornanen
