According to Minister for Foreign Affairs, Timo Soini, the future of the European Union is at stake due to possible Brexit, refugee and euro crises and tense relations with Russia, among other things. « I’m not a fan of the EU, but I don’t enjoy this situation, » the Minister said on Monday at a foreign policy seminar. According to Mr Soini, EU does not need more integration but decision-making close to the people who have lost their faith in the Union. The Minister supports closer collaboration between EU and NATO, and wants joint actions from the Union towards Russia.
