Heidi Hautala

thumb|There is always the risk in parliament that political opinions might be expressed. Heidi Anneli Hautala (born 14 November 1955 in Oulu) a Finnish politician. Quotes There is always the risk in parliament that political opinions might be expressed. As quoted in "Putin's shadow falls over Finland" by Simon Tisdall, in The Guardian (14 June 2006) Russia is no longer a military threat. But I do think we have a responsibility to try to enhance stability and democracy. And only a democratic country can be stable … It's reasonable to allow time for the development of democracy … But Putin's Russia is moving in the wrong direction … many seem to think that one should tolerate some 'failures' since 'stability' has gained ground. I believe this kind of realpolitik is dangerous. Stability can only result from a genuine democracy, rule of law and respect of human rights.
