Finland Prime Minister To Pay Back Breakfast Expenses After UproarEurope 2021-06-02, by Editor Comments Off 0
Helsinki: Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin is pledging to pay back thousands of euros in meal expenses in a bid to contain the fallout from revelations about her family’s taxpayer-subsidised breakfasts.
The 35-year-old leader made clear on Tuesday she would no longer claim such expenses after pledging over the weekend to pay back over 14,000 euros ($17,000) she has received in reimbursements for breakfast and cold meals at her residence since taking office a year and a half ago.
“Because there are open questions regarding the meal allowance, I will pay the related costs myself,” she said on Twitter on Saturday, adding that she will make sure the issue is looked into and guidance updated if necessary.
Little progress has been made to relax coronavirus travel restrictions between Finland and Estonia despite dozens of meetings held between officials from both countries. However, there is hope the situation may change with the introduction of the EU's coronavirus passport.
