onthedarkside Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Finland’s Parliament on Wednesday gave final approval for the Nordic country’s historic bid to join NATO, with lawmakers signing off on membership along with the required legislation. The 200-seat Eduskunta legislature passed the measure in a 184-7 vote to allow for Finland’s accession to NATO, clearing the last required national hurdle for joining the 30-member Western alliance. The vote was initiated by Prime Minister Sanna Marin’s center-left government, which wanted to proceed with the vote before Finland’s April 2 general election even though two NATO members — Turkey and Hungary — haven't yet ratified the membership bids by Finland and neighboring Sweden. https://www.euronews.com/2023/03/01/finlands-parliament-gives-final-approval-for-nato-bid 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
