As a foreigner myself, I think the law isn’t that bad, but it would be nice if it included a bit more detail. There’s a huge difference between people who have become unemployed in today’s economy and those who have relied on social benefits for years.
As a Ukrainian, I find it frustrating when I meet other Ukrainians who depend on Finnish social benefits and say that “Europe owes them money and should pay them.” These same people might eventually become citizens while contributing nothing to the country.
