An update on the progress of a Finnish law that would allow dual citizenship:
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">
Good news from Finland via FEP Speakers Council: Dual Citizenship is on track. However, a problem word in the proposed language of the law is cause for another call for action. One of the provisions of the law is returning Finnish citizenship to those who have lost it through naturalization -- and their MINOR children. This word unnecessarily penalizes the second generation, who already may have "fallen between the cracks" under current law. The word MINOR also gives citizenship rights to younger children in a family and leaves out others, perhaps just a year older. Please pass this message on to all those you know who may be able to communicate with Finnish MP's about this. They should urge the removal of the word MINOR in the text of the new law. The e-mail addresses for all Finnish MP's are firstname.lastname@eduskunta.fi.
Thanks and best regards,
Anja Miller
