No, you dumbo. The big thing is that she, as a minister, 1) tried to keep her connection to a perfectly legal offshore company a secret from the public for some strange reason, and 2) is dumb enough to lie about it in the parliament, and accuse other people of lying, one of the few things that can get a minister sacked.
To you, it's a massive lie designed to hide her connection to an offshore company. To people that matter, it was a response to a misleading argument that turned out to be technically true. Oh well.

You can actually lose a lot if you are a "private party" (of course Nalle-level guys are exempt) but if you have been a high level politician, yup. "Oh no, I got fired from my public office, nobody will vote for me, I'll just have whatever EU offers me instead lol and the salary will be even better".

That is not at all what was the case, said countries froze residence permits from people who said they were from certain area: nobody was able to tell who is lying and the officials certainly could not "pinpoint" anything due to their own efforts. They just noticed suspiciously many people claiming to be from place X had a similar stereotypish story. Asylum seekers are not making the same mistake in Finland these days.

I guess it would help if hard work actually would get you somewhere. Let's use something like a cleaner, since it's closest we've got to a minimum wage job since no such thing exists officially. Even if you were working two jobs, 16h days 6 days a week you'd still make less than someone in IT.

Actually they were able to tell people were lying. It says it right there. The procedure they put asylum seekers through discovered too many similarities in stories and stopped accepting asylums from people from that region until they could get more details. That's how investigation is supposed to work. Just like in criminal investigation, people who aren't actually guilty might still be suspected and even arrested, in this case they have to wait longer for their asylum to be processed and face increased scrutiny.

You don't get to claim the system is bad when the system is working as intended.

Until you have actual proof of widespread fraud in the stories of Iraqis who actually follow the asylum process, you don't get to say that this is happening. If you look at the actual statistics, some Iraqis get asylum, some not. They don't randomly choose the people who get through. A Shia from Baghdad is going to have a lot harder time claiming asylum then a Sunni from Mosul. Iraqis aren't some clones.

Even though they were not able to certainly determine who makes stuff up and who doesn't (considering they introduced a banket ban on everyone from place X) the system certainly worked ok in my books. I never said Belgian system bad, you made that up, I'm just using that as a proof that abusing the system is common in EU.

Cases like above should offer some proof of "widespread fraud" though. As does the fact so many Iraqis leave either own their own volition, or are Dublin cases (when someone follows the protocol). It appears this year roughly 1/3 of Iraqis have received residence permit, 1/3 did not receive, and 1/3 were never not processed at all. Remember, all of these arrived to Finland on the premise they face certain death and torture or some other personal caust which caused them to flee Sweden, and that they had not been registered anywhere else. If, and if we trust Migri officials only 1/3 really did so. The number might be more, it might be less, we can't know, but if this is not proof of widespread fraud, or misuse or abuse of the system, pick your word, then nothing is.

Sigh. Did I not backup what I said with something real?

It's not proof that "abusing the system is common in the EU", that is again something that you have not proven in any way.

They introduced the blanket ban because they needed to recieve more information to determine who makes stuff up and who doesn't. They didn't blanket throw all of their applications out. What else would you want them to do?

If your problem is that people who don't even attempt to utilize the system leave of their own volition then I don't know what to tell you. I would think that is a positive thing for anyone. Also, like every news article on the issue mentions, the primary reasons for leaving are the tightened family unification rules or some other thing befalling relatives in Iraq.
http://www.iltalehti.fi/uutiset/2015122220867429_uu.shtml
http://veikkohuuska.puheenvuoro.uusisuomi.fi/208599-yllattavan-moni-turvapaikanhakija-on-perunut-hakemuksensa

I'm not speculating on any concrete numbers because there are no hard ones (see how easy this is?) but they might have had cause for asylum (since most Iraqis who do apply do get it - fact) but didn't want to abandon their family. In fact it's pretty logical to assume if you want to cheat the system and stay you at the least bother to try to cheat the system. Why not stay in Finland for a few more months? It's not like we throw you in a jail for it. These people bought their way in and out and would have left faster if not for our bureaucracy making that another slow process, so I really don't see the issue either way.

Likewise, Dublin claimants being effortlessly caught before the process is even started seems to point towards the system working.

Of the actually addressed cases in the system, last year Iraqis received 85% positive answers, 61% thus far in this year. 73% total thus far. So no, the fraud (not claiming asylum at all and buying your own plane ticket home doesn't count as fraud) isn't widespread unless we have a different understanding of that word.

And EU-wide as said, over half of the claimants are Syrians alone.

Yeah, that is just more whining. You don't get to claim things that are not happening are happening. Or gently caress if you are ignorant enough that you don't know the real facts involved you still don't get to whine when you get corrected.
