Far-right parties gain ground in Finnish coalition talks

Finland's conservative National Coalition Party, winner of this year's general election, hopes to form a coalition government with the anti-immigration Finns Party and two other groups — the Swedish People's Party and the Christian Democrats. If negotiations are successful, the coalition will secure a majority of 108 seats in parliament out of 200. However, the negotiations are expected to be difficult as the National Coalition Party must reach a consensus with the nationalist Finns Party, whose leader has previously said that her party will aim to reduce "harmful" immigration from developing countries outside Europe.

Far-right party in talks to join Finland's next government coalition.

The leader of Finland's right-wing National Coalition Party, Petteri Orpo, has invited the far-right Finns Party, along with the Christian Democrats and Swedish People's Party, to join talks to form the next government. The combination of parties would give Orpo a narrow majority of 109 seats in the 200-seat parliament. However, there are significant differences between the parties, particularly over EU issues, international values, human rights, and immigration. Negotiations will start next week, with a view to wrapping up in June.

Far-right party in talks for coalition government in Finland.

Finland's prime minister-elect, Petteri Orpo, will begin talks to form a coalition government with the anti-immigration Finns Party, the Swedish People's Party, and the Christian Democrats. Orpo's National Coalition Party defeated the Social Democrats in elections earlier this month, but forming a coalition with the Finns Party, which has a tough stance on immigration policy, may prove difficult.

The downfall of Finland's young PM: Controversial partying video and key voter concerns.

Finland's Prime Minister Sanna Marin and her Social Democratic Party lost the general election to conservative and far-right rivals, with the National Coalition Party securing the most votes. Marin faced backlash earlier this year after a video of her partying with friends was leaked, but it is unclear if it affected the election results. The new leadership is unlikely to change Finland's position on international policies like the war in Ukraine, with the National Coalition Party leader stating their support for Ukraine and opposition to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Sanna Marin concedes defeat in Finland's election.

Finland's left-wing Prime Minister Sanna Marin conceded defeat in the parliamentary election as the pro-business National Coalition Party (NCP) claimed victory. The NCP is expected to win 48 of the 200 seats in parliament, narrowly ahead of the nationalist Finns Party with 46 seats and Marin's Social Democrats on 43 seats. NCP leader Petteri Orpo vowed to "fix Finland" and its economy, and will get the first chance at forming a coalition to obtain a majority in parliament. Marin, the world's youngest prime minister when she took office in 2019, faced criticism for her partying and government's public spending.
