According to the Estonian media, Finland’s accession to NATO benefits Estonia and the Baltic countries in many ways.
Finland’s government negotiations and NATO membership are closely followed in Estonia, says Ylen, a Tallinn-based journalist Rain School.
Kooli reports from Tallinn today in Ylen Aamu and radio Ykkösaamu.
According to Kooli, Finland’s internal politics are generally better known in Estonia than abroad.
– Elections in Estonia have been approached in the Finnish way, that is, not so much Sanna Marini through the person, his or her success and fate, as has been done in many countries, Kooli said in Ylen Aamus.
In Estonia, according to Kooli, it is understood that Petteri Orpon the task in government negotiations is difficult, and compromises must be made.
Orpo himself is still a relatively unknown person in Estonia and we want to know more about him.
According to Kooli, the Coalition as a party is in many ways close to the Reform Party that leads Estonia.
– Both parties went to the elections with the economy ahead and talked about balancing the state economy and spending cuts, Kooli said.
Finland’s NATO membership is celebrated in Estonia
In Estonia, Finland’s NATO membership has received a lot of attention, according to Kooli.
Estonia is happy that Finland’s, and eventually Sweden’s, joining NATO will improve the security situation in the Baltic Sea and make it easier to defend the region.
– There will also be a whole new depth to the defense of the Baltics when it becomes easier to transport NATO troops here, Kooli estimates from Tallinn.
The sharing of intelligence information and situational images between Finland and the Baltic countries is also made easier when all are members of NATO.
According to Kooli, the Estonian media has also emphasized the fact that NATO aircraft operating in the Baltics can also use Finnish airports in the future.
