[2] There was a political debate on the proposal to appoint Juusti as Permanent Secretary; this also raised a lot of public discussion as the National Coalition Party and a number of experts wished that Arto Räty would continue in the position.

The then Minister of Finance Alexander Stubb (National Coalition Party) requested referral of the matter.
