This didn't improve Paasikivi's reputation among the Swedish Social Democrats dominating the government, who were sufficiently suspicious due to his association with Finland's Monarchist orientation in 1918, and the failed Lapua coup in 1932.
Dette forbedrede ikke Paasikivis rygte blandt de svenske socialdemokrater, som dominerede regeringen, som var rigeligt skeptiske i forvejen på grund af hans tilknytning til Finlands monarkister i 1918 og det fejlslagne Lapua kup i 1932.
