News in Finland today highlights concerns over financial transparency, as a MobilePay feature reportedly allows users to hide sums exceeding ten thousand euros from authorities, with Kela not investigating these transactions. Concurrently, Kela faces a deepening management crisis, with allegations of the agency attempting to conceal alarming information.
A disturbing historical report has revealed that at least 1,700 Finns, including a 12-year-old girl, underwent lobotomies, often without consent, in the recent past. Separately, police are preparing for a significant rush in passport renewals next year, as over a million Finnish passports are set to expire due to increased post-pandemic travel.
Other domestic developments include the sale of approximately 900 state-subsidized rental apartments to investors, raising concerns among tenants, and a critical housing situation in Tampere with apartments available at reduced prices. Tragic incidents also occurred, including fatal and serious apartment fires in Helsinki and Åbo.
