Could Finland stand in the way of Greece bailout deal?

With anti-EU Finns party in coalition, Helsinki may deny its minister mandate to agree to deal - but ECB and European commission could still drive it through

Although Greece and its creditors have yet to begin even negotiating Athens' third bailout in five years - a three-year programme worth up to a86 bn - Finland already represents a problem as Helsinki may deny its pro-European finance minister, Alex Stubb, a mandate to agree to the deal.

Finland is very much on the side of the Germany-led fiscal hawks and is more of a problem than before because the nationalist anti-EU Finns party did well in elections in April and its leader, Timo Soini, is foreign minister.
