Brussels - Since the crisis of the euro area has obtained by virtue of how truly a year ago, various Cassandra warned that the day would come where voters would rise in revolt against pay for the costly mistakes of others with rescues.
This day came Sunday, when Finnish voters given 19 percent of their ballots to the nationalist and populist true party of Finn, who is very orchestrated for countries such as the Greece, the Ireland and, more pertinentlyPortugal. The rendered results true Finns the former Favorites to become partners in the coalition in a future Government.
"The results of Sunday are clear warning shot to those who had thought that political European would not too affected by the crisis in the periphery," Frank Engels and Fran?ois Cabou, Barclays Capital analysts wrote Monday in a research note."". A rescue plan for as much as 115 billion for the Portugal has been questioned by the vote, since rescue requires the unanimous approval by the 17 members of the euro area.
True Finns raised their share of seats in the Parliament of 200 members in 39 of the 5 they had won the 2007 elections, strongly to change the balance of powers in Finnish politics.
While the Finnish leaders of other parties have begun to discuss ways to mitigate the damage, European politicians reacted with dismay to the results of the elections and has sought to distance itself from the true Finns.
Wilfried Martens, a Belgian politician, who is the President of the largest grouping of centre-right parties in Europe, European people's Party, said it was "discouraging see populist party rise to third place in Finland."
In Berlin, officials downplay fears that the Finland would undermine efforts to help the Portugal, also citing its traditionally pro-European position.
"Finland was still working toward success in Europe, regardless of what the Government was in power," said Christoph Steegmans, Government spokesman Assistant Germany. "Any agreement was always kept, and we are betting that it will continue."
The true Finns ran on a platform which was hostile to the recent financial bailout of the Ireland, the Greece and the agreement reached this month here with Portugal. These rescue plans were designed to put an end to a crisis of sovereign debt which threatened the future of the single currency area and raised questions about whether if the disparate economies in Europe could never be successful to integrate.
"Obviously there must be changes," the leader of true Finns, Timo Soini said Monday on the Portugal package, reported in Reuters.
True Finns were also critical of immigration policy, and their election gains came in the wake of advances by populist parties on the right across the European Union, including in the Netherlands, the France and the Sweden.
In Brussels, officials of the European Union Monday rejected suggestions that was not their strategy for the euro area.
The vote in Finland, protests against the austerity throughout Europe and continues to the volatility in financial markets should not obscure how the union has taken measures that will enable us to get the economy on a sustainable path,"Pia Ahrenkilde Hansena spokesman for the European Commission, said in Brussels.
She also said the commission was "completely confident" that the Finland would continue to honour its commitment to participate by contributing to financial stability, European facility in year place last to provide financial assistance to the members of the eurozone in difficulty.
The pro-European Coalition in Finland, headed by the Minister of finance Jyrki Katainen, strongly supported the efforts to address the problems of the euro area. It could still lead a future Government, while Mr Soini of True Finns can accept a compromise to participate in the rescue in exchange for positions in the next Government.
If the Finland are reluctant to help the Portugal, forcing other countries to do the rest of the loan guarantees, potentially raising birds in Germany and other countries, where the cost of the guarantors also became a source of political tension.
