FIThe Finnish Prime Minister's Office has prepared a draft regulation outlining criteria for STEA grants, which were presented to Social and Health Minister Wille Rydman (PS). Rydman expressed surprise at the positive nature of the proposal during an interview on A-Studios. He stated that the proposed criteria align with existing principles he has advocated for and would strengthen his current guidelines. The discussion around the distribution of grants has been intense, with differing views between the governing coalition parties and Rydman. According to Rydman, the new criteria need to be discussed further with the Centre Party and the National Coalition Party before final decisions on grant allocations are made in January. The Prime Minister, Petteri Orpo (National Coalition Party), mentioned that the government has not reached consensus on Rydman's proposed criteria and that they must be submitted to the Council of State by August 13.
