Mats Uotila viewed that Defense Minister Häkkänen had not acted wrongly by strengthening Finland's defense and stated that it was the minister's most important task. He criticized the SDP, which he claimed organized a worthless spectacle in Parliament this week and was willing to undermine crucial security cooperation in pursuit of gaining popularity points. Uotila reminded that the SDP had previously supported the acquisition of David's sling during the previous government term. He mentioned that the party had voted against Häkkänen's trust in Parliament due to his visit to Israel. According to Uotila, the purpose of the trip was to ensure spare parts and maintenance for the air defense system ordered by the SDP from Israel. Uotila wrote that not all necessary defense materials could be obtained from Europe and believed that Finland's security should be prioritized. In his view, the SDP did not seem willing to do so. #SuomenPuolustus #turvallisuus #politiikka (translated)
