Discourse Finland’s possible NATO membership will be “quite difficult”, the Prime Minister estimates Sanna Marin (sd) at a policy journalists event on Wednesday.

“No solution is just easy or good. All solutions also have difficult, cumbersome dimensions. In this respect, this debate will be varied and quite difficult. ”

According to the Prime Minister, Finland is now trying to find a national consensus in the changed security policy environment.

Finnish security policy went to a new position in February, when Russia invaded Ukraine. The government is giving a report to Parliament, which deals not only with foreign and security policy, the economy and security of supply. According to Marin, the discussion will take place in Finland during the spring.

According to Marin, the implications not only for Finland but also for Ukraine and how Finland’s solution would affect finding peace must be taken into account when considering possible NATO membership.

“We will make an extensive assessment of both the impact of applying for membership and the fact that membership is not being applied for. You have to understand that that too is a choice and it also has implications, ”he said.

Marin is currently being examined by the Association of Political Journalists at the Estate House.

HS will be showing a live broadcast of Ilta-Sanomat from 10.45 am. HS also follows the event moment by moment.
