The Spanish government demanded the dismissal due to the lack of trust and inappropriate behavior of the diplomat, Helsingin Sanomat reported.
“Spain believes that he has been acting improperly,” ministry’s spokeswoman Meira Pappi said, as quoted by the media outlet.
The Spanish government has not provided any specific explanations, but the Finnish Foreign Ministry has confirmed that the diplomat’s inappropriate behavior was related to the issue of Catalonia’s autonomy.
“The Foreign Ministry asked for this further clarification, but so far we have not received a response,” Pappi said.
