Poll: Finnish voters remain opposed to NATO membership

Apr 6, 2010, 10:54 GMT

Helsinki - The number of Finnish voters opposed to possible membership in NATO has increased slightly, according to a new survey published Tuesday. The poll suggested 56 per cent of Finns opposed joining NATO, 26 per cent were in favour, while the remaining 18 per cent were undecided. The Helsingin Sanomat newspaper commissioned the Gallup survey, which polled about 1,000 people in March. The margin of error was plus or minus three percentage points. A year ago, 53 per cent were opposed to membership in the defence alliance. The strongest backers of NATO membership were found among supporters of the National Coalition Party, one of four parties in the coalition government. Finland cooperates with NATO within the Partnership for Peace (PFP) framework.
