“Finns threaten euro rescue plans,” headlines Financial Times Deutschland. Referring to the European Financial Stability Facility, the German business daily explains that general elections scheduled for 17 April could result in "a complete restructuring of the rescue plan.” According to latest polls, 48% of voters are fully opposed to international assistance for Eurozone countries in crisis, and the staunchly eurosceptic True Finns party may well obtain enough support to influence the formation of the country’s next government. Negative views about the rescue plan are also shared authorities in the country. The newspaper quotes a highly placed official in the Finnish Ministry of Finance, who insists: “Wanting to help Portugal is a mistake and helping Greece is a mistake: we should let them go bankrupt.”
