“We are calling on all citizens, civil society organisations, business and industry, and political players to build a socially, economically and ecologically sustainable society. Let’s work together to take Finland not only to the 2020s but further, towards the 2030s. Towards a Nordic welfare state of the future where everyone of us feels that they are included, irrespective of their wealth or place of residence, and where everyone can have faith in the future.” These were the words of Prime Minister Antti Rinne as he presented his Government Programme to Parliament on Tuesday.
