(Yle) Speaking on Yle’s talk show Ykkösaamu on Saturday, Prime Minister Sanna Marin said she was very pleased with the government’s decision to repatriate Finnish children from the al-Hol refugee camp.
“It’s up to ministry officials to determine whether Finland will also help the mothers,” she said.
Marin emphasised that it was not up to the government to decide the fate of individual Finns living in the al-Hol refugee camp.
Earlier this week, Marin caused a political storm when she asked the opposition National Coalition Party (NCP) whether they were “ashamed” for saying that Finland should not help children at al-Hol if it also meant repatriating their mothers.
