Finnish Economy Minister Resigns Amid Nazi Controversy
Finland's economy minister, Vilhelm Junnila, has resigned following allegations of ties to right-wing extremists and making distasteful Nazi jokes. Junnila, a member of the anti-immigrant Finns Party, stepped down after surviving a vote of no-confidence. He had faced criticism for a speech related to a far-right memorial and for making repeated Nazi jokes. Junnila's resignation makes him the shortest-serving minister in Finnish politics, raising questions about the viability of the ruling coalition.
