According to Ohisalo, the party’s existing position would make it possible to apply for NATO membership.
The Greens chairman Maria Ohisalo says that he supports Finland’s NATO membership. Ohisalo says In an MTV news interview has changed its position because the Russian invasion of Ukraine has changed the Finnish and European security environment.
Ohisalo has previously given priority to Nordic and EU defense co-operation.
Ohisalo tells MTV that NATO membership would be a sensible solution for Finland’s security policy and would strengthen Finland’s security policy position.
“Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine is a sign that Russia is ignoring international commitments. We have such a neighbor, with whom we must continue to live and I feel that the security policy situation in Finland would really be strengthened by having a NATO backrest behind us, ”Ohisalo tells MTV.
Ohisalon according to the party’s existing position would allow it to apply for NATO membership. The Greens will discuss the NATO position on Friday, and the party delegation will hold a wider foreign and security policy debate over the weekend.
Ohisalo will return from parental leave to the Minister of the Environment and Climate at the turn of May-June.
Ohisalo has been replaced by Iiris Suomela as chairman.
