PM does not rule out nuclear weapons or permanent Nato bases in Finland

TL;DR

Prime Minister Sanna Marin (SDP) told Yle on Saturday that it was impossible to anticipate when Hungary and Turkey would ratify Finland's accession into Nato."I've considered it very important that we don't set these kinds of preconditions, or limit our own room for maneuvering, when it comes to permanent bases or nuclear weapons,'' Marin explained, adding that she believed it was unlikely that nuclear weapons would be situated on Finnish soil.The environmental proposal calls for member states covering at least 20 percent of the EU's land and sea areas by 2030 with nature restoration measures.With a price tag of nearly one billion euros, carrying out the conservation efforts would cost Finland more than any other EU state."The government does not see this as a reasonable cost," Marin said, explaining that Finland can downvote the proposal, though it will first work to reshape it."
