Despite making calls that have enraged the right-wing press — such as allowing Left Alliance MPs a free vote in Parliament on whether Finland should join NATO.

In said vote half their MPs voted in favour of Finland joining Nato, with the conditions that its membership "remain defensive, with no permanent NATO military bases or nuclear weapons within the country"

Only two members of this party (if I remember correctly) voted againts Nato. The only open communist was one of them.
