Presidential elections

First, news about the presidential election.

The campaigns for the second round of the presidential elections started on Monday.

In the second round are the coalition’s Alexander Stubb and the voters’ association Pekka Haavisto.

Alexander Stubb invited people to walk in the center of Helsinki.

Stubb said he plans to campaign the same way he did in the first round.

Pekka Haavisto also started a campaign in the center of Helsinki.

He said that there is better time to speak in the second round of election exams when there are only two candidates.

Both candidates must attract new voters.

In the first round, 1.5 million Finns voted for a candidate other than Stubb or Haavisto.

Then news from the Gulf of Finland

The risk of an oil accident in the Gulf of Finland has increased.

The reason is that Russia exports oil in the Gulf of Finland with ships that may not be suitable for winter conditions.

Russia uses African ships, for example, because Western companies no longer transport Russian oil.

The reason is Russia’s attack on Ukraine.
