Finnish publication accuses Putin of “hidden threat” and presentation of “memorized text”
So, in the publication Ilta-Sanomat material came out in which the correspondent writes about "getting ordinary citizens of Finland an idea of how Russians live under Putin." The publication stated that if Putin arrives somewhere, then they immediately block traffic, close stores.
It is further stated that the residents of the Finnish capital “suffered from confusion” - due to the fact that the board of the Russian president landed at Helsinki airport with a two-hour delay.
But especially representatives of this Finnish publication were hurt by President Putin’s response to protests in Moscow. According to the head of the Russian state, in Russia, as in any democratic country, people have the right to participate in rallies, but they do not have the right to violate the law, including organizing unauthorized actions. At the same time, Vladimir Putin added that neither ordinary citizens nor law enforcement officials have the right to violate the law, and that all cases of such violations will be considered in court. The Russian president also drew the attention of Finnish journalists to how violently the unauthorized protests in Europe were dispersed. He cited France as an example, where as a result of clashes with the police there are not only hundreds of detainees, but also dozens of victims.
In response, a spokeswoman for Ilta-Sanomat called the words spoken by Vladimir Putin “a memorized text.” And the statement by the President of Russia that Russian security will be reliably ensured (after discussing the INF Treaty) is a "hidden threat."
