Saami council law failed due to political will, not substance: Saami council chairman

Saami Council Chairman Tuomas Aslak Juuso has provided a detailed account of the background and twists and turns of the latest attempt to reform the Saami Council Law. Juuso emphasized that the reform process failed due to political will, not the substance of the issue.

The reform process began in 2020 with the establishment of the Timonen Committee mandate and ended with the Constitutional Law Committee halting the consideration of the bill due to lack of time.
