Rival politicians began criticizing Orpo in late July after he skipped the European Political Community summit, hosted on July 18 in the U.K., so that he could spend time with his family instead. Orpo \u2014 from the center-right National Coalition Party \u2014 finally spoke out on Tuesday, not to apologize, but to insist he would make the same decision next time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI put my family first,\u201d Orpo said during a press conference. \u201cThis work is demanding. It is also challenging for my family and loved ones. The fact that we got to be together was worth it. I would make that decision again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Orpo sent Finnish President Alexander Stubb to the July summit and he was cheerfully greeted by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer as he arrived at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. According to opposition MPs from the Social Democratic Party, Stubb\u2019s participation was a \u201cpeculiar anomaly\u201d and \u201ccontrary to the spirit of the Constitution,\u201d arguing that Finland has previously been represented by the prime minister during similar European meetings.<\/p>\n<p>Orpo also faced blowback for not immediately publicly disclosing the reasons for his absence at the summit. \u201cIt is not known where Prime Minister Orpo was on July 18, when the meeting was being held,\u201d Tytti Tuppurainen, a member of the Social Democratic Party, wrote on X in late July.<\/p>\n<p>According to Orpo, however, Stubb\u2019s attendance at the summit did not represent a problem and he said that the replacement was agreed in advance with officials and meeting organizers.\u201cThis was a meeting focusing on foreign and security policy, so it was very natural that the president of the republic participated,\u201d Orpo said Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing criticism about why the reasons for his absence were not immediately made public, Orpo said: \u201cI thought of it in such a way that when you say that there are family reasons behind it, that would be enough. In this case, too, family reasons were involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/finnish-pmpetteri-orpo-summer-holiday-helsinki-uk-european-politicial-summit\/\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/defiant-finnish-pm-says-hed-skip-european-summit-again\/\">Defiant Finnish PM says he\u2019d skip European summit again<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[15771,555,14202,586,15772,15773],"class_list":["post-133165","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-again","tag-csr-news-en","tag-eu-summit","tag-finland","tag-pm-orpo","tag-skip"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133165","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133165"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133165\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
