”Finland has to carry the responsibility of all the things even if there is going to be a change of government”, says Sauli Niinistö, one of the most important Finnish politicians. Picture Kaisa Rautaheimo (S.K.).
The previous spokesman of the Finnish Parliament, Sauli Niinistö (from ’National Union’, the main Finnish center-right party) asks for changes in the help-packet which is being designed for Portugal. He reminds that the details have not been yet decided, so that it is possible to influence on them.
According to Niinistö a problematic situation could be avoid joining more countries to those which will take responsibility of helping economically Portugal. In that case the money that every EU country would have to loan to Portugal would be smaller, included also the participation of Finland, that half of the Finnish citizens oppose, according to recent surveys.
Niinistö proposes that the same system used in the rescue operation in Ireland is used now with Portugal. In that one participated the European Commission and the International Monetary Found, which is composed of 185 countries.
”In the case of Ireland the participation of EU countries got limited to a third of the whole help-packet”, Niinistö points out. ”But the help-packet to Portugal has been designed quite exclusively inside Europe”.
Jyrki Katainen (from the same party than Niinistö), who is leading the negotiations inside Finland about the help-packet to Portugal and the Finnish EU-commissionaire Olli Rehn emphasized that supporting Portugal is essential to avoid a new world-wide financial crisis. However, Niinistö expects larger reasoning.
”Why would only the EU-countries be payers if in fact it’s about saving worlds economy? It doesn’t make sense”, he points.
”Why don’t Britain, Sweden, Denmark, Poland or United States, Japan and China want to save World’s economy?”
