HS: Over half of Finns are in favour of joining Nato

A NEW SURVEY by Helsingin Sanomat indicates that 54 per cent of the public are in favour of Finland joining Nato, representing an increase of six percentage points from a survey conducted for the newspaper between late February and early March.

A little over a fifth (21%) of the 1,062 people surveyed stated that they oppose the membership and a quarter (25%) that they cannot say one way or another.
