Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen rejected Thursday opposition Perussuomalainen (True Finns) party’s demand for including its representatives in the process of drafting the municipal, social, and health sector reform proposals.
Katainen rejected the demand indirectly in reply to a query of Perussuomalainen lawmaker Timo Soini during a plenary session of the parliament.

Soini during the question and answer session following the plenary demanded that the opposition should be included in the reform proposal drafting process.
Katainen turned down the demand.
When the Perussuomalainen MP inquired to know what was wrong with them, the prime minister said, ‘It is impossible to find any fault in you, especially as a representative’.
