"Finland's Economy Minister Resigns Amid Nazi References Controversy"

Finland's economy minister, Vilhelm Junnila, has resigned after just 10 days in office following controversy over Nazi references he made at a far-right event four years ago. Junnila apologized for his remarks and survived a no-confidence vote, but ultimately decided to step down to avoid damaging the government and Finland's reputation. The resignation comes shortly after his party, the nationalist Finns Party, joined Finland's new right-wing coalition government.
