A vote on the issue is scheduled for March 1.
The agency specifies that the parliamentarians who protested against the ratification had previously voted against the application for accession to the North Atlantic Alliance on May 17, 2022. Moustajärvi made a whole series of protests – he also spoke out against the deployment of nuclear weapons (NWS) and permanent bases of the alliance, as well as the use of Finnish territory for hostile purposes.
Commenting on his views, the deputy said that Helsinki must insist that no nuclear weapons should be deployed in Finland and that its land, sea or air space should not be used for transportation or transit of this type of weapon because the country risks automatically being in the forefront of nuclear attack in case of a “big war”.
