Sture Fjäder wrote that when the war broke out, there would be the president, the commander of the defense forces, the army, the prime minister, the minister of defense, the government, and parliament in the country. According to him, Marin would have no place to return to, but at most a job at the front line as a logistics provider for the soldiers. Fjäder also questioned Marin's cooking skills. #demarit https://t.co/PFt52sNPEr #sota #puolustus #politikka (translated)

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)

The SDP prevents the Finnish Minister of Defense from participating in a security meeting of vital importance to the homeland with Western allies. The SDP is doing dangerous undermining work against Finland.

The Minister of Defense will miss an important international JEF meeting because the left opposition led by the SDP decided to try to make foreign policy and Finland's security a domestic political issue.
