Presidential candidate Urpilainen advocates for moderation in dual citizenship debate amid security concerns
SDP's presidential candidate Jutta Urpilainen has voiced concern over the increasingly populist tones in the ongoing Finnish presidential election debate regarding dual citizenship, particularly among Finnish Russians. The discussion has reached a point where some candidates are suggesting the retrospective removal of dual citizenship, potentially stripping tens of thousands of Finnish residents—who have been educated, employed, and integrated into Finnish society—of their Finnish citizenship.
