BREAKING:
The Finns party just announced it will change group affiliation in the European Parliament from ID to ECR.
The party board stated it was done due to “the radical change in Finland’s security policy environment and Russia’s brutal war of aggression.”
The party board also stated that:
“the Finns must be part of a group in the European Parliament whose member parties stand united in uncompromising defense of Western civilization and the European security policy architecture”
The Vice-Chair of the ECR Group, @weimers, stated:
“The Finns party joining the ECR Group is another sign of a growing conservative and Putin critical movement. This will further strengthen the ECR Group as the preeminent Russia-critical voice in the European Parliament”
