Savola, who is a member of the Parliament’s defense and foreign affairs committee, threw his hat in the ring a day later and finally won the unanimous support of the center-right agricultural party.
Saarikko revealed on Thursday that his proposal had raised concerns among his party members about one member of the government, who oversaw the handling of both the energy crisis and NATO accession.
“In the last few days, new shades were considered when energy prices rose to record highs,” he explained. “Citizens were rightly worried about whether the same minister can handle two key ministerial posts during the crisis winter. When circumstances change, you also have to change your perspective.”
On Twitter, Saarikko described Savola as professional and reliable and reiterated that this week’s low temperatures showed that “combining two portfolios is not smart.”
