The President of Finland ratifies the new law on the protection of the border with Russia

MADRID, 8 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The President of Finland, Sauli Niinisto, has ratified this Friday the legislative reform approved on Thursday by Parliament to increase border protection against a possible threat from Russia.

The Finnish Ministry of the Interior has confirmed that Niinisto has signed the Border Guard and Preparedness Acts in a bid to bolster the country's defense in case of retaliation by Russia for trying to join NATO.

The measures in question will come into force from July 15 and will allow security forces to limit traffic in the border area in case of emergency, among other issues, which would prevent asylum seekers from entering the country, according to reports. from the newspaper 'Helsingin Sanomat'.

Finnish authorities fear that the Russian government will implement "hybrid" measures at the border allowing migrants and asylum seekers to pass, as happened in 2021 in Belarus and Poland.
