Rangt eftir Urpilainen haft og ranghermið farið í hvern fjölmiðilinn á fætur öðrum.

Sú frétt sem Andsinnar voru yfir sig kátir með hér fyrir 1-2 dögum og höfð var eftir finnska fjármálaráðherranum Urpilainen hefur reynst vera bara ranghermi. Urpilainen sagði ekkert í líkingu við það sem AFP túlkaði fyrst uppúr finnsku blaði og svo komust bresku fjölmiðlarnir í það og svo koll af kolli. Allt bara bull og vitleysa. Hún sagði allt annað en haft var eftir henni og búið var til úr orðum hennar.

,,Urpilainen misquotes on euro spread like wildfire

Comments erroneously attributed to Finance Minister Jutta Urpilainen on Friday about a possible Finnish exit from the eurozone have spread around the world.

On Friday afternoon, the French news agency AFP cited an interview with Urpilainen published by the Finnish business paper Kauppalehti that morning. The wire service reported that ,,Finland would consider leaving the eurozone rather than paying the debts of other countries in the currency bloc, Finnish Finance Minister Jutta Urpilainen said."

In fact, Urpilainen said nothing of the kind in the interview. Rather she stressed that Finland is committed to euro membership and that ,,this is the message we must continue to convey".

AFP also attributed the following statement to Urpilainen: ,,Finland will not hang itself to the euro at any cost and we are prepared for all scenarios".

There was a similar statement at the beginning of the article: ,,Still, Finland will not hang itself on the euro at any cost and all situations are being prepared for". However, this was an observation by the reporter, not a quote from Urpilainen.

At the end of the article was this rather neutral statement: ,,According to Urpilainen, the government has a direct responsibility to draw up various scenarios and future paths."
