⛽ Lobbied

The energy company Neste lobbied Prime Minister Petteri Orpo to block changes to the national fuel distribution mandate. The company’s efforts to keep the current requirements in place reached the top of the government, according to HBL. The exchange is a reminder of how closely industry and climate policy are intertwined in Helsinki. The weather is set to turn this afternoon as an autumn storm approaches. Forecasters expect five-meter waves and winds strong enough to topple trees and disrupt power supplies. Elsewhere, the national hunting center and the University of Turku have finalized a plan to gradually eliminate the invasive Canadian beaver to make room for the rarer European species. In a day of varied domestic reports, a CEO has dismissed the country's occupational health system as a scam, while an economic expert has provided a direct assessment of what would happen to the national economy if the Euro were to collapse. Meanwhile, three decades after the event, a victim of childhood sexual assault in a cinema has chosen to go public with his story.
