Abstract
Current debate on EU solidarity in Finland displays two seemingly conflicting trends. Amidst a deteriorating European security policy landscape, Finland has highlighted EU’s role as a security community for its members, including its mutual assistance obligation spelled out in Article 42(7) of the Lisbon Treaty. Conversely, Helsinki has underlined EU member states’ national responsibility for their own finances and economy before and after the Euro Crisis. The country has experienced some notable difficulties in adapting its position to the context of economic challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
