Finnish parties respond to questions from National Coalition

PARTIES in the Finnish Parliament on Tuesday shed light on their conditions for coalition co-operation in their answers to the questions presented last week by Petteri Orpo, the chairperson of the election-winning National Coalition.

The Centre Party was the only party not to answer to the questions in detail, reiterating in its curt response that it is bound for the opposition after losing 8 of its 31 seats in the Parliament.
