Most Finns want presidential candidates to say yes or no to Nato

Most Finns would prefer if the candidates in the upcoming presidential elections had a clear-cut stance on whether or not Finland should apply for membership in Nato.

Alma Media on Wednesday reported that 53 per cent of respondents to its survey agreed with the statement that the candidates should be explicitly either for or against the membership. A quarter of respondents disagreed with the statement, while a fifth were unable or unwilling to comment on the statement.
