Update on the Corona Pandemic in the Republic of Finland August 17, 2020
Update on the Corona Pandemic in the Republic of Finland August 17, 2020 As of today, the Finnish Public Health Authorities announced that 1 new death have been confirmed within the last 24 hours due to the Coronavirus. Since Covid-19 reached Finland the total mortality rate is now 334 people. 7 752 people have been confirmed infected and 0 people are in intensive care. Due to the deteriorating corona situation in many parts of the world, including Europe, the Finnish government will review the current travel recommendations. The government has stated that there may be a maximum of 8 corona cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 14 days for a country to be counted as a green country and that no quarantine is needed after returning from such a country. At present, 17 countries in Europe are classified as green - but the situation has deteriorated in recent weeks in several of them so that they no longer meet the criteria. Of the 17 countries, 12 should be moved to the yellow or red category. The government will therefore meet on Wednesday to discuss possible changes in the recommendations and possibly introduce new restrictions in travel. Interior Minister Maria Ohisalo says that the government also has discussed a possible interruption in air traffic between the city Skopje in the Republic of Macedonia and Finland, reports Yle Uutiset. Many cases of covid-19 have been found in travelers who have flown to Finland from Skopje. “According to THL, the infected people have had Finnish social security numbers and that border restrictions are not the most effective way to prevent the spread of infection”.

Update on the Corona Pandemic in the Republic of Finland July 9, 2020
Update on the Corona Pandemic in the Republic of Finland July 9, 2020 As of today, the Finnish Public Health Authorities announced that 0 new deaths have been confirmed within the last 24 hours due to the Coronavirus. Since Covid-19 reached Finland the total mortality rate is now 329 people. 7 273 people have been confirmed infected and 2 people are in intensive care. The Finnish government has published new, eased travel restrictions. Corona infection has decreased in many places, which means that Finland can open up to both tourists and guest workers. On Wednesday evening July 8, 2020, the government held a press conference on open borders with new countries and on the possibility for berry pickers from Thailand to come to Finland. In many European countries, the corona situation has now fallen to the same level as in Finland. Therefore, the border can be opened to the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Greece, Austria, Malta, Germany, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland. Travelers from Cyprus, Ireland, Andorra, San Marino and the Vatican City are also allowed. Finland also follows the EU's "green list" and allows necessary travel to and from Japan, China, Australia, Thailand, South Korea, Georgia and Tunisia, among others. However, the travel restrictions remain in force for Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg, Poland, France and the Czech Republic. Tourists from Bulgaria, Croatia, Great Britain and Monaco are not allowed to come to Finland at the moment either. Ministers Haavisto and Ohisalo regretted once again that the infection situation is so different in Sweden and Finland. “However, we can consider regional openings later on,” said Maria Ohisalo.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019 1 1 CONTENTS Foreword: Democracy is under threat 3 Overview 4 Highlights of our results 6 Supporting dialogue and enhancing skills – Demo Finland’s programmes Mozambique 7 Myanmar 8 Tunisia 9 Zambia 10 Ethiopia 11 Sri Lanka 11 Bringing democracy on the agenda – Demo Finland’s communications and advocacy 12 Human resources 14 Financial resources 15 Layout: Salla Vasenius Photos: Demo Finland 2 3 DEMOCRACY IS UNDER THREAT There is grave concern about the state of democracy and its regress, which is also happening in stabilised democracies. This is echoed in key reports that aim at assessing the global level of democracy produced by International IDEA, the Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU) and Freedom House – while the global Covid-19 pandemic regresses it even further. While measuring democracy is notoriously challenging, the reports raise an alarm about the need to speak out for democracy. In their recent report, International IDEA alerted us that democracy is under threat and its promise needs revival. The report showcases that most hybrid forms of democracy that flirt with authoritarianism and non-democracies have generally neither delivered nor sustained better policy outcomes, with some exceptions. Instead, democracies are more likely to create the conditions necessary for sustainable development compared to non-democracies or hybrid regimes. The choice is thus not between non-democracy (or illiberal or hybrid forms of it) and democracy. The world needs more and better democracy. Meanwhile, the Economic Intelligence Unit stated that only 45,5% of countries are democracies (either full or flawed democracy). US-based Freedom House also does not paint a rosy picture in its Freedom of the World 2020 report.

Lot of Hopes for New Government in Finland
Lot of hopes for new government in Finland di Jukka Pietiläinen di Jukka Pietiläinen (Left Forum Finland) – A combined meeting of the party council and parliamentary group of Left Alliance decided unanimously to participate in five party coalition government led by Social Democratic prime minister Antti Rinne on Wednesday evening 5 June. Government was nominated on Thursday 6 June. Before decision Left Alliance asked the opinion of the members if the party should participate in this coalition after the negotiations on government programme were finalised on 3 June. The voting took place by internet, and a possibility to vote in paper was organised in party district offices. The voting took place from Monday afternoon to Tuesday midnight and resulted a total of 97,2% of party members approving the participation in government, 0,3% voted blanc and 1,5% opposed the participation in government. Turnout was 33,7% out of 11,000 party members. The formation of government started after parliamentary elections on 14 April with the chairperson of the largest party, SDP. After collecting answers from all parties in parliament SDP chairperson Antti Rinne made decision that five parties SDP, Centre, Greens, Left Alliance and Swedish People’s Party could form a best coalition. The Centre party had asked in opinion poll the opinion of party elite and local activists, if the party should start negotiations or remain in opposition after a huge loss of support and the worst result in elections in 100 years. Approximately 80% of around 300 activists approved the participation in coalition. Centre party which represents interests of countryside and Northern and Eastern regions has been one of the cornerstones of Finnish political system, but in 2019 it got only 13.8% of votes and 31 MPs (-18), and in Helsinki it lost even its only MP.
