TL;DR Summary

Finland's parliament has elected Petteri Orpo, leader of the National Coalition Party, as the new prime minister, replacing Social Democrat Sanna Marin. Orpo will lead a coalition of the conservative NCP, the nationalist Finns, the minority-language Swedish People's Party, and the Christian Democrats. The new government aims to reduce the budget deficit by cutting spending, reducing taxes, and boosting private sector job creation. It also plans to shift immigration policy to the right, with a focus on cutting refugee quotas and making it more difficult for foreigners to obtain citizenship.
