芬兰总理佩特里·奥尔波表示，这些针对多名议员住宅的入室盗窃事件很可能是由外国势力所为。
The Finnish prime minister, Petteri Orpo, has said that a foreign power could be responsible for a series of suspected break-ins at the homes of several members of parliament.
警方周四透露，他们正在调查过去一年内在赫尔辛基地区发生的多起议员住宅被盗事件：虽然没有财物被盗，但现场留下了明显的破门痕迹。
Police said on Thursday they were investigating multiple reports of MPs’ homes being broken into in the Helsinki area in the last year in which nothing was stolen but subtle signs of breaking and entering were left.
当记者询问这些入侵事件是否与外国势力有关时，奥尔波回答说：“这是完全有可能的。在当今时代，这种可能性确实存在。”
When asked by a reporter if a foreign power could be behind the alleged intrusions, Orpo said: “It is very possible. Quite possible in this day and age.
他补充道：“如果有人试图破坏芬兰的稳定，或是影响我们对乌克兰的支持，反而会增强我们的团结。”他表示，警方及政府会对此事进行严肃调查。
“If someone tries to destabilise Finland our sense of security, or our support for example for Ukraine, it has the opposite effect. It strengthens our unity.”He said the incidents would be investigated by police and within government and would be “taken very seriously”.
鉴于芬兰议会选举仅剩六个月时间，奥尔波强调必须高度重视选举可能受到的干扰：“我们在多个欧洲国家看到，俄罗斯一直在试图影响选举结果。”
With the Finnish parliamentary elections just six months away, Orpo said the risk of election interference must be taken seriously. “We see in several European countries that Russia has sought to influence elections,” he said.
芬兰与俄罗斯接壤，由于俄罗斯对乌克兰的全面入侵以及芬兰加入北约后两国关系急剧恶化，两国边境已关闭多年。
Finland shares a long border with Russia that has been closed for years amid a rapid deterioration of relations since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine and Finland joining Nato.
当被问及这些疑似事件时，芬兰总统亚历山大·斯图布表示：“对议员的攻击就是对民主的攻击；这种行为绝不能被容忍或接受。我支持每一位议员。”在议会举行的新闻发布会上，议长尤西·哈拉-阿霍表示，目前尚不清楚具体涉案案件的数量，但此类事件确实“非常严重”；他强调这类行为很可能是由国家行为体所为。
The Finnish president, Alexander Stubb, said when asked about the suspected incidents: “An attack on a member of parliament is an attack on democracy. “It should not be allowed or accepted in any form … I stand in support of every member of parliament.”At a press conference in parliament, the speaker, Jussi Halla-aho, said he did not have an exact number of suspected cases but that it was “significant”. He said it was the kind of behaviour associated with state actors.
哈拉-阿霍还表示：“虽然我们知道某些国家行为体有时会从事类似的活动，但目前我们没有更多信息可供评论，也没有必要进行猜测。”
“It is known that state actors sometimes engage in activities that resemble suspected cases, but we have no information to comment on at this time and there is no point in speculating,” Halla-aho said.
他说，这些观察是“一点一点”积累起来的。“这些痕迹也可能是故意留下的，让人能够看到。”据芬兰广播公司（Yle）报道，可疑事件包括住宅房门被敞开以及灯光被故意开着。
Observations had been made “drop by drop”, he said. “It is possible that the marks were left visible on purpose.”According to broadcaster Yle, suspected cases include doors being left open to homes and lights being left on.
赫尔辛基警方表示，已收到议会关于议员住所涉嫌遭非法闯入的信息，并已展开初步调查。警方在一份声明中表示：“赫尔辛基警察局正与国家调查局紧密合作以澄清此事。调查尚处于初期阶段，警方目前无可进一步置评。”
Helsinki police said it had received information from parliament about suspected intrusions at the homes of MPs and that it had begun a preliminary inquiry. It said in a statement: “The Helsinki police department is working closely with the national bureau of investigation in clarifying the matter. The inquiry is at an early stage, and the police have nothing further to comment on at this time.”
