Eastern border

First, news about Finland’s eastern border.

Prime Minister Petteri Orpo says that the border between Finland and Russia can remain closed.

Prime Minister Orpo says that Finland will not open the eastern border if Russia continues to send asylum seekers across the border to Finland.

The border has been closed for a month now. It is scheduled to open on Monday.

Prime Minister Petteri Orpo says that the border between Finland and Russia will probably remain closed.

The Prime Minister says that Russia’s actions have hardly changed. That is why the government is preparing new measures for the eastern border.

For example, the government plans to reform the law so that asylum applications can already be processed at border stations.

Medicine prices

Then the news about the price of medicines.

Medicines are cheaper in Sweden than in Finland.

The trade association’s report says that over-the-counter medicines are up to 30 percent cheaper in Sweden than in Finland.

Over-the-counter medicines are medicines that can be bought without a prescription.

Prescription drugs are also more than 10 percent cheaper in Sweden than in Finland.

In particular, over-the-counter medicines are much cheaper in Sweden than in Finland.

The price difference is due, for example, to the fact that in Sweden, over-the-counter medicines are also sold in grocery stores and kiosks. It increases price competition.

The most attractive cities

Finally, we tell you that Tampere is the most attractive city in Finland.

The economic survey asked about people’s willingness to move. Almost 40 percent of the respondents could think that they will move to Tampere someday.

The second most popular city was Helsinki and the third most popular was Turku.

Thursday’s weather

Another weather forecast.

It will get cold tomorrow. In the south, the temperature is around -10 degrees. In the north it is -20 degrees.
