The Finnish Parliament on Wednesday gave its confidence to Minister of Economic Affairs Vilhelm Junnila (PS), who faced a motion of no confidence over his repeated references to fascist and far-right symbols, by a vote of 95 to 86.
In a united front, the Green Party, the Left Alliance, and the Social Democratic parliamentary group in Finland are expressing a vote of no confidence towards Minister of Economic Affairs, Vilhelm Junnila. The reason for this is the minister s alleged connections with extreme right-wing movements. The motion of no confidence was put forward by Green Party MP Hanna Holopainen during a full session of parliament on Tuesday, 27th June. The Group Chairperson, Atte Harjanne, commented on the matter remotely via Twitter.
Either Saara Hyrkkö or Sofia Virta, each a second-term member of the Finnish Parliament, will replace Maria Ohisalo as chairperson of the Green League in June.
