Andersson puzzled by other parties’ readiness to push through intelligence laws

Li Andersson, the chairperson of the Left Alliance, has voiced her puzzlement with the readiness of other parliamentary groups to amend the constitution urgently.

The Finnish Parliament is tomorrow expected to determine whether a proposal to amend constitutional provisions on the protection of personal data and secrecy of correspondence should be declared urgent. The amendments must be declared urgent if the government is to succeed in introducing its new, long-discussed intelligence laws by the end of its term in office.
