Who is Petteri Orpo? Meet Mr. Dependable, Finland’s election winner

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:41:50 GMT

Finns have played it safe with a post-pandemic recession looming and their giant eastern neighbor Russia waging a brutal war in Ukraine. In center-right leader Petteri Orpo, the Finnish electorate has backed someone with a trusted track record in party politics that stretches back decades. Orpo convinced voters that the Finnish economy was in trouble and that he — rather than his free-spirited and freer-spending rival Sanna Marin — was the steady hand Finland needs. The shift will mark a radical change in tone for Finland and for the wider European political scene. Marin, a popular personality on the left of EU politics, found herself in hot water last year after a video emerged of her dancing exuberantly at a party with friends. Yet it was her government’s reputation on economic policy that cost her. In Sunday’s election, Orpo’s get-it-done persona won out. He played on deeply rooted (if mundane) Finnish fears about rising government debt and of...

Government shines a light on UK cyber operations

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:41:50 GMT

Conrad Prince is a Distinguished Fellow and senior cyber adviser at RUSI. He is the former director general for operations and deputy head of the U.K. government’s signals intelligence and cyber security agency, GCHQ.The last decade has seen a notable increase in openness and engagement from the United Kingdom’s intelligence and security agencies — especially in contrast to the days, not all that long ago, when the government didn’t even officially admit to their existence. But today, we have speeches and media appearances from agency heads, extensive websites and even a presence on social media.Now, that process has taken a significant step further with a publication by one of the newest additions to this secret world — the National Cyber Force (NCF). The NCF has released a document setting out the operating principles behind the U.K.’s use of what is sometimes called “offensive cyber.” That is, operations in cyberspace to disrupt an adversary’s ability to use the Internet and digi...

These Tory MPs wanted an asylum clampdown. Just not in their own backyard

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:41:50 GMT

LONDON — Rishi Sunak’s ruling Conservatives are desperate to “stop the boats.” They seem less happy when his plan to end cross-Channel migration impacts on their own leafy constituencies.The U.K. prime minister unveiled proposals last month to house thousands of asylum seekers in ex-army barracks, one of a spate of announcements designed to deter the wave of small boats bringing undocumented migrants across the English Channel.The U.K. is even mulling the prospect of “accommodating migrants in vessels” — which could take the form of giant barges out at sea, Robert Jenrick, the immigration minister, confirmed last month. Sunak has put cutting illegal migration at the top of his in-tray after a record 45,755 people made the dangerous crossing last year. The proposals were warmly welcomed by the vast majority of Tory MPs — until details were announced of where the thousands of asylum seekers will actually be housed. Sunak had vowed to show ̶...

Russian spies rebound in Europe

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:41:50 GMT

Jamie Dettmer is opinion editor at POLITICO Europe.Russia is trying to rebound from last year’s coordinated mass expulsion of Russian intelligence officers operating under diplomatic guise in Europe.And there’s now growing evidence that Russia’s foreign intelligence service (SVR) and its military intelligence agency (GRU) are aggressively trying to rebuild their human espionage networks — particularly with an eye toward military aid going to Ukraine.In what Ken McCallum, the head of Britain’s security service MI5, dubbed the “most significant strategic blow” against Moscow in recent intelligence history, more than 400 so-called undeclared intelligence officers have been drummed out of Europe since the invasion of Ukraine, including from France, Belgium and Germany, dramatically reducing the Kremlin’s reach and ability to spy in Europe.And on Thursday, Finland’s Security and Intelligence Service (SUPO) said the expulsions of Russian intelligence officers, and visa refusals for their ...

Why the Paris referendum doesn’t mean the end of e-scooters

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:41:50 GMT

Parisians voted to ban shared e-scooters in the French capital — but the industry vows to keep fighting.Although Sunday’s referendum was non-binding and turnout was very low, in a late-night press conference Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo promised to respect the results and not renew contracts with Lime, Dott and Tier, the three operators currently running e-scooters in the French capital.“The voters have given us a clear road-map and we will follow it,” said Hidalgo. “There will be no more self-service e-scooters in Paris.”But that doesn’t mean trottinettes will leave the City of Lights overnight: Privately owned e-scooters remain legal, and the operating licenses for the 15,000 shared e-scooters in the city don’t run out until August 31.E-scooter operators lobbied hard to sway the referendum result. Despite that failure, they say they won’t give up Paris without a fight and argue the result is questionable because a mere 7.46 per...
