An anti-euro populist party has made dramatic gains in Finland’s parliamentary election, crimping its pro-Europe government and raising the risk of disruptions to Portugal’s EU bailout.
With 38 percent of ballots counted, the centre-right ruling National Coalition Party is in front with 20 percent. But its leader, Finance Minister Jyrki Katainen is almost certainly going to have to form a coalition.
The current largest governing party, the Centre Party of Prime Minister Mari Kiviniemi is set to come fourth in the vote, reflecting its massive slide in popularity.
