Perussuomalaiset (Finns Party) secretary Riikka Slunga-Poutsalo on Monday said the second largest parliamentary party will start from the premise that it gets the position of the Speaker of Parliament.
 
“There is no reason to change the established practice,” Slunga-Poutsalo told news agency STT.
 
The parliament will temporarily elect the speaker next week on April 28.  Officially, the speaker will be elected after the government negotiations.
 
However, Slunga-Poutsalo did not speculate which Finns Party MP is likely to become the next speaker.
 
As a tradition, the speaker is chosen among MPs with long parliamentary career, but Finns Party has only few MPs with a long experience in parliament.
 
Slunga-Poutsalo, however, said the party has qualified second term MPs well qualified to execute the task with honour.
