Oulu politician Anna Koskela of the Finns Party wrote a Facebook post over the weekend complaining about how men ”from underdeveloped countries” cross the road near a local supermarket.
The uproar related to the resignation of economic affairs minister Vilhelm Junnila (Finns) has eroded the unity of the new government, political scientists tell Yle.
Markku Jokisipilä, the head of the University of Turku’s Centre for Parliamentary Studies, told Helsingin Sanomat on Sunday that the National Coalition’s questions to other parties suggest a desire to form a ruling coalition with the Finns Party rather than the Social Democrats.
