Speaker Halla-aho says several MPs are deeply worried about alleged home break-ins

In an interview with Yle's morning program, parliamentary speaker Jussi Halla-aho said that some members of parliament are extremely uneasy after reports that their homes may have been targeted by intruders. Helsinki police have launched a pre-investigation, classifying the cases as attempts at aggravated theft, and will release information only when it is verified. The parliament convened three times this week to discuss security measures, and a parliamentary office committee issued new procedural guidelines on Thursday.

Halla-aho noted that Finland, like other Western societies, values openness, but such incidents can be exploited to create fear, especially amid heightened tensions with Russia. He declined to comment on who might be behind the break-ins, stating that neither the police nor the parliament have identified any responsible party. The speaker also mentioned that some MPs have taken personal steps to protect their families and that the security department is monitoring any unusual activity.
