HELSINKI (Reuters) - The man set to become Finland's first left-leaning prime minister in 20 years announced plans on Monday for a big public spending increase on welfare and infrastructure, paid for by tax hikes, sales of state assets and a boost in employment.
Social Democrat Antti Rinne, who cobbled together a five-party coalition after barely beating the far-right Finns party into first place in an election in April, unveiled the programme for his new government of centrist and left-leading groups.
