Parliament | The opposition demands that the eastern border be immediately closed to tourists, according to Marin, the issue is still being investigated – Live broadcast underway

The opposition has demanded that Russian tourists be prevented from entering the country.

Basic Finns and the coalition demanded during the question hour, like last week, that the eastern border be closed to Russian tourists. Last week the Prime Minister Sanna Marin (sd) said that it will not be possible to prevent the entry of tourists, because the authorities evaluating the matter with official responsibility do not consider every Russian tourist to be a security threat.

Now Marin said the authorities should reevaluate the matter.

“Yesterday’s news about the business launch and Vladimir Putin the messages cause a situation where I think the Finnish authorities should reassess whether these people pose any kind of national security threat. Based on that, the authorities could make decisions about Schengen visas, which are therefore not issued by Finland but by other countries,” said Marin.
