The Green League party in Finland is kind of interesting when compared to other Greens worldwide. They used to be vehemently anti-nuclear, having for example previously left a government due to decisions related to investments in new nuclear power plants (as referred in TFA). However, since then they've:

- Removed the opposition to nuclear power from their official party program

- Just recently elected a known pro-nuclear vice-chairman

- Now this, lobbying for inclusion of nuclear energy in the EU as sustainable

Also, a sub-organization Finnish Greens for Science and Technology (Viite) (also pro-nuclear, pro-GMO, etc.) has taken a nice foothold in the party.

Commendable to see people coming around and updating their beliefs.

The Old Guard of the Finnish Greens were hard core anti-atom power the ones with positions of actual power.

Younger generations have been either pro or neutral for a long time, it just took them a while to get to places in power inside the party to actually change the policy.
