Welfare areas. Kela. Lapland. Saturday’s weather.

Wellbeing areas

First, news about politics.

The opposition parties want a joint working group for all parties. The purpose of the working group is to solve the economic problems of welfare areas.

Opposition parties reported on the matter in Parliament.

Opposition parties are parliamentary parties that are not in government.

Many welfare areas are facing a difficult economic situation, which could worsen health services for Finns.

That is why the opposition parties want an all-party working group to solve the economic problems of the welfare areas.

They request that Prime Minister Petteri Orpo establish such a working group.

The chairwoman of the Left Alliance, Minja Koskela, says that welfare areas should be given more time to make savings.

Currently, the deadline for savings is already next year.

Reel

Now news from Kela.

Kela transfers Finnish citizens’ data to a cloud service.

This means that Kela will no longer have its own computer centers.

Kela purchases a cloud service from a large IT company. The IT company has computers across the EU.

Therefore, Finnish data may in the future be outside Finland.

Kela has a lot of sensitive information about people, which is why data security is important.

Kela’s IT Director Nina Nissilä says that data security will continue to be good even if the data is transferred abroad. For example, the country where the data is located will be kept secret.

Kela transfers Finnish citizens’ data to a cloud service.

Initially, information on military allowances, survivor pensions and rehabilitation allowance will be transferred to the cloud service.

The change will begin in 2027.

Lapland snow

Finally, news about snow.

Lapland has been covered in snow this week.

These pictures are from Rovaniemi, Santa’s Village.

Tourists and travel companies are happy about the snow. Tourism companies hope that the snow will stay on the ground and not melt.

Snow is important for tourism in Lapland.

Lapland has been covered in snow this week.

Davide and Alessia have come from Italy. They say that Rovaniemi has a great Christmas atmosphere.

Saturday weather

The weather is getting colder across the country.

On Saturday, there will be snow showers or sleet in the central part of the country.

However, it is generally dry, meaning it does not rain.

In the south, the temperature rises above zero during the day, while in the north it is freezing.
