Finland threatens rescue Portugus

The Portuguese authorities in Lisbon yesterday negotiating a bailout billionaire with European envoys and the International Monetary Fund to avert disaster. They did it with an eye to thousands of miles away, aware that their economic future passes through the Finnish Parliament says yes to the rescue Portuguese in the coming days and is fulfilled and the European requirement for unanimity.

The procedure was complicated substantially after the True Finns party, which opposes financial aid to struggling countries like the EU is now negotiating, achieved massive support in the elections last Sunday. His victory has plunged the political Finnish convoluted negotiations to form a coalition government, which announced last several weeks.

Yesterday, the outgoing government, which initially was to address the adoption of Portuguese rescue, decided to pass the ball to his successors, given the importance of the case. The Portuguese rescue is currently in the air and largely increase the chances of collapse of the financial package.

In principle, it was expected that the finance ministers of the EU financial assistance approved at its meeting on May 16. The formation of a new Executive Finn, who go to the Ecofin with a decision could take several weeks. Even worse, the new government might decide, as they have warned the True Finns, who do not share the terms of the bailout and that Brussels dede find another solution.

Portugal would be without help, doomed to failure, and Europe at the mercy of the effect of the shock wave Lusa. Conservatives, Social Democrats and the True Finns, the three most popular parties are called upon to form the new coalition government. The latter two formations strongly criticized during the campaign European bailouts policy.

His position reflects a malaise that extends across northern Europe. Here, many taxpayers who do not understand why after paying roads and employment programs in southern Europe, now have to go rescue those countries that they say have failed to manage the grants. Think that in any case, it is the banks that should help resolve a problem that they considered partly responsible.

And that is precisely the party's electoral bonanza of the True Finns, who have spent five to 39 seats in the last elections and who were able to move the debate about how such unequal economies coexist in the same club, the halls of Brussels cafes Finland. He explained it clearly Finnish taxpayers in a letter to the editor who published the Financial Times yesterday.

"While the Finns diligently pay taxes, and that honesty is considered a pillar of society, I find it hard to see how my tax euros are spent on supporting countries that have lied about their economies and tax evasion is a national hobby. " Next to eurorrechazo, immigration has been the other big issue, leaving aside for the first time political correctness, has planned on the campaign.

Has landed in the hands of Halla Aho, a leader of the True Finns, known scourge of multicultural policies in Finland. As in other neighboring countries tolerant and inclusive tradition, the discourse of tough on the immigrants has started to sink in Finland. The difference is that the number of immigrants is infinitely less in this country, only 3% of the population, compared, for example, with 14% in Sweden.

Still, any fears they do not understand numbers, have surfaced and have materialized in ballots. Another difference, says Teivo Teivainen, professor of political science at the University of Helsinki, is that here, unlike what happens in countries like Holland, "populist politicians who speak of the danger of Islamization, they do to defend liberal values as gay marriage or feminism.

Conversely, in Finland, its model of family resemblance to more traditional Islam, but nobody seems to bother this mass of contradictions. "Susanne Ginman, managing editor of the Finnish Broadcasting adds another element to explain election outcome considers "the greatest change from WWII.

contends that the voters were fed up with parties that seem too one another and do not dare to make ideological differences for fear of jeopardizing always necessary partnerships in government coalitions . In this context, the True Finns broke "led by a man who does not resort to technicalities, who speaks the language that people understand and with which voters can relate to."
