MEP Sampo Terho (Perussuomalaiset, EFD Group) comments the institutional perspectives today called by EU leaders : "EU seems to be in a constant never ending crisis and many people seem to be using this crisis as an excuse to advance the development to a federal State" he said, and "I'm quite sure Finnish people would not accept that". Mr Terho asks now for "an open debate on federal development", regretting that no people in Europe can be consulted on this important step. "The Federal State comes just little by little" and it will be "some day a reality" in the back of the European people. On the contrary, the last elections shows that people, "are looking for a change in Euro politics"
