Sputnik News – July 11, 2020<\/p>\n

Predictions about the end of the European project have long been bandied about in the corridors of power and in newspaper columns. However, one Finnish MEP has joined the long list of those making the claim that the end may be on the horizon.<\/p>\n

The European Union is on track to \u201cinevitably\u201d collapse due to increasing concerns over the bloc\u2019s plan to further centralise power in Brussels, a Finnish MEP has told The Express<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Laura Huhtasaari<\/a>, an MEP for the Finns Party and a well-known Eurosceptic in her country, has said that the EU\u2019s continued attempts to bring member states under the command of Brussels, and to increasingly concentrate law-making powers there, will result in the union\u2019s demise.<\/p>\n

Referring to what she says is the inescapable end of the EU, the Finnish MEP said, \u201cI think it\u2019s inevitable that it will collapse, but probably not right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI want my country back, I want to get out of the EU. I don\u2019t want to be part of this new Soviet Union-like union. I definitely want to be an independent state, doing a free trade agreement and other kinds of loose operations,\u201d Ms. Huhtasaari added.<\/p>\n
