Reports Claim: Finland Will Veto Any Plan to Keep Greece in Eurozone

While most fingers are pointing to Germany as taking a hardline against Greece in eurozone negotiations, numerous reports are now emerging that Finland refuses to budge and won’t support any plans to keep Greece in the eurozone.

Jarno Hartikainen, an EU correspondent for a Finnish business newspaper has Tweeted Finland’s opposition.

Hartikainen referred to three Finnish news outlets reporting their government’s veto.
