Party support

First, news about politics.

The order of the four most popular parties has remained unchanged.

This is what Yle’s new opinion poll says.

The most popular party is still the Social Democratic Party (SDP), supported by 23 percent of Finns.

The SDP is not in the government. Its support has already decreased slightly in three polls.

The second most popular party is the Coalition Party, with support of just over 18 percent.

The National Coalition Party is the governing party, and Prime Minister Petteri Orpo is from the National Coalition Party.

The center is in third place, with support of around 14 percent.

The Finns Party is in fourth place, with support of just under 14 percent.

The order of the four most popular parties has remained unchanged.

Of all the parties, the Greens have lost the most support.

EU’s dependence on technology

Now for some technology news.

The EU wants to reduce dependence on US and Asian technology.

Today, 80 percent of European technology comes from outside the EU.

Finnish authorities also use a lot of American services.

Digital Commissioner Henna Virkkunen says that an external country must not be able to disrupt Europe’s information networks.

Therefore, important information must be stored in Europe in the future.

The EU wants to reduce dependence on foreign technology.

The EU also wants to help its own technology companies grow.

The EU Commission hopes that states will purchase more services from European companies in the future.

Wild boar Seppo

Finally, animal news.

A rare pet lives in Suomussalmi. It’s a small wild boar named Seppo.

When Seppo was born, he was small and weak. He couldn’t compete for food with the other piglets. That’s why he was in danger of dying.

The family rescued the piglet, and the vet gave permission to keep it as a pet.

Normally, a wild boar is not a pet.

In Suomussalmi, a family rescued a wild boar piglet.

Seppo likes to play in the yard and rest in his owner’s lap.

Friday weather

Still a weather forecast.

Friday will be warm and sunny in most parts of the country.

However, it may also rain in some places.

The temperature is 20–25 degrees.
