Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

"I didn't like the ad, because it gives the wrong impression of Pöntinen's thinking."

Naah. Katainen doesn't like the ad because it gives the right impression of Pöntinen's thinking, obviously. Pöntinen's hoping to steal some votes from the Perussuomalaiset now that their so-called immigration critic Jussi Halla-aho is not running after all. He might just do that, but then at the same time Kokoomus would lose a whole bunch of votes from decent people.

You have a normal feeling for a moment, then it passes. --More--

Yes, I noticed that example of spinspeak. If Pöntinen is giving the wrong impression of his thinking there, then he's really giving the wrong impression, if you see what I mean.
