And as a member of that Society elected to the Parliament? What's wrong with that? Democracy working, he being a representative of his voters and all that.
I'm still asking what the "lies" she claims that he "spreads" about her are. After that question, calling him a "captured pawn" is a distraction, not a contribution to the discussion.

- ptaipale 11y agoHe's a senior official who handles e.g. all matters regarding Finnish relations to EU when they go to the parliamentary committee. This is about as senior as it gets in our modest House of Parliament. So this is a bit like a Brit saying "it's not worth discussing where Kim Philby is working" because even the SIS has janitors. I'm not saying he's Kim Philby, I'm just saying his position is not irrelevant.
