Finland’s parliament has passed amendments to the Nuclear Energy Act, removing a long-standing prohibition on the import, storage, and deployment of nuclear weapons. The change reflects a reassessment of Finland’s security policy following its recent accession to NATO and evolving relations with Russia. Previously, Finland’s constitution prohibited the stationing of foreign military bases and the transit of foreign armed forces through its territory, effectively barring nuclear weapons. Supporters of the amendment argue it aligns Finnish law with its NATO obligations and enhances deterrence. Critics express concern about escalating tensions and the potential for nuclear proliferation. The government maintains that the decision does not imply any intention to acquire or deploy nuclear weapons, but allows for preparedness in a changed geopolitical environment. The amendments were approved by a narrow margin, highlighting the sensitivity of the issue within Finland.
