The Finns Party was able to secure a crackdown on immigration and asylum in coalition negotiations, which dragged on for 11 weeks before being finalised on Friday. It will promote a strong partnership between the UK and the EU,” the deal said. “The government will maintain and deepen Finland’s close multi-sectoral links to the United Kingdom.

The new government has undertaken to keep close ties with Britain and to repair relations damaged by Brexit. The recovery instrument was an exceptional one-off solution that should not serve as a precedent.” “Finland will not commit to measures that would shape the European Union into an asymmetric income transfer union. “The EU budget must be kept at a reasonable level, avoiding an increase in Finland’s net contribution,” their coalition agreement said.

Ms Marin’s Social Democratic Party came third with 43 seats, but was shut out of a possible coalition because it opposed conservative calls for huge cuts to public spending to reboot Finland’s stagnant economy. The centre-Right Coalition Party won the elections with 48 seats and were followed by the Finns Party – an anti-immigration hard-Right party that has called for Finland to quit the EU – which took 46 seats. It insisted that EU governments be solely responsible for their own national debt in an agreement that completes the ousting of Sanna Marin, the centre-Left and pro-EU prime minister, after elections in April. The conservative coalition vowed to fight any more European-level bailouts or rescue funds, such as the €750 billion Covid recovery fund, which pooled common debt among member states. “Finland wants the EU to play big on big issues and small on small issues,” their coalition agreement said.“Finland advocates for a clear division of competences between the union and the member states, which should not be expanded with a new interpretation of the treaties.” Right-wing parties also ruled out increasing Finland’s payments to the EU budget, despite the European Commission calling for more money because of the war in Ukraine.

Finland will oppose the surrender of any more national powers to the EU, the new government in Helsinki warned as it put itself on a collision course with Brussels.
