Stubb asks more transparent election laws

Foreign Minister Alexander Stubb says that he would like to see more transparent election laws in place before next year's European Parliament elections. In a discussion the Foreign Minister also said actions by the regime in Myanmar are close to a violation of human rights.

Stubb described the present election campaign financing system in Finland as "secretive" and said that it is good that a public debate came up recently about political campaign financing. He said that he himself knows who the contributors to his European Parliament election campaign were.

So the first important act the new Finnish foreign minister was …internal!!! And he managed pretty well to …piss off a few colleagues of his!
