Tavio faces presidential criticism, interpellation over decision not to participate in equality alliance

MINISTER for Foreign Trade and Development Ville Tavio (PS) has raised eyebrows among both opposition and ruling-party lawmakers by deciding not to participate in an alliance for a gender-responsive and inclusive recovery in Ukraine. MTV on Friday reported that Tavio decided that Finland will not join the alliance due to its mission to also promote the interests of gender and sexual minorities, according to official sources.
