Eero Heinäluoma, the chairman of the opposition Social Democrats' parliamentary group, was quoted as saying by tabloid Ilta-Sanomat on Friday that Mari Kiviniemi (centre), the prime minister, was out of touch with the realities of working life.

Heinäluoma's comment comes after Kiviniemi accused him of "flirting with racism" by calling for further curbs on work-based immigration.
"[Kiviniemi] has truly become drunk with power and alienated from what is happening in Finnish working life," Heinäluoma was quoted as saying.
Kiviniemi was named Centre party leader and prime minister last month.

"An awesome transformation in a remarkably short time."
Heinäluoma went on to demand Kiviniemi to define racism.
