01 April 2008 12:07 (UTC +04:00)

Quoting Finnish newspapers APA reports, Finnish ruling party is not supporting Ilkka Kanerva, father of two daughters, who sent more than 200 intimate SMS to the striptease dancer, 29. Jurki Katainen, leader of the ruling party said they had not accepted Ilkka Kanervaâ€™s staying at the post of Foreign Minister, because he lost the Partyâ€™s confidence. The Party leader said it was not easy to make decision of the Kanervaâ€™s resignation. Finnish newspapers said new foreign minister would be made public in two days. It was also made public that Foreign Minister Ilkka Kanerva was feeling ill, but he kept silence about his illness. He will miss the NATO Bucharest Summit because of illness. Kanervaâ€™s previous similar intimate scandal was in 2005, when he chaired the Finnish Parliament. He messaged with two photo models at that time.
