Finns Party

Finland's conservative National Coalition Party, the winner of April's general election, on Sunday unveiled its picks for key Cabinet posts in the upcoming government that observers say will be the most right-wing in the Nordic country's recent history.

Another form of “Finlandization” has apparently plagued the Eurozone over the weekend and is now viewed as the main obstacle towards achieving a new bailout deal with crisis-stricken Greece, one that would avert the east Mediterranean country’s euro membership meltdown.

Timo Soini, the Finns Party leader and possible new finance minister of Finland, said on Friday it would make sense for Greece to leave the euro zone.

Two immigrant candidates, Turkish-born Ozan Yanar and Afghani-born Nasima Razymar, have been voted into Finnish parliament, while a millionaire and former telecoms executive, touted as a technocrat capable of rescuing Finland from its economic slump, won the weekend's parliamentary election.

Finland?s election is a clear call for politicians to stop arguing over the fate of Greece and instead turn their attention to their own economic troubles.

That?s according to Olli Rehn, the former European Union economics chief and a member of the Center Party that won Sunday?s election.

Finnish Prime Minister Alexander Stubb has admitted defeat in parliamentary elections held in the country on Sunday, with his party coming second.

The opposition Centre Party, led by millionaire former IT businessman Juha Sipilä, has won with 21.2% of the vote, while support for Stubb's National Coalition Party (NCP) was at 18.2%.

Juha Sipila, a former IT businessman who headed the Center Party a few years ago, is set to win Finland's general poll held Sunday.

An official projection by public broadcaster YLE suggests Siplia's Center Party is likely to get 46 seats, while the National Coalition Party of PM Alexander Stubb will have 37 seats in the 200-strong Parliament.
