Finland's New Right-Wing Government Led by Petteri Orpo.

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.

Sanna Marin's Election Loss in Finland: What Happened?

Sanna Marin's Social Democratic party increased its vote share and number of MPs in Finland's election, but the party was defeated by the conservative National Coalition party (NCP) and the far-right Finns party. Petteri Orpo, the leader of the NCP, is likely to be the next prime minister and may seek to form a government with the Finns party. The right successfully leaned into concerns about Finland's growing national debt and persuaded voters that it was time to cut social programs to balance the books. The result reflects a general trend of the right doing well in European politics, while classic center-left parties are seeing their vote share hold up above disastrous levels.

Petteri Orpo emerges victorious in Finland's election, leaving Sanna Marin to concede.

Petteri Orpo, leader of the center-right National Coalition Party, won Finland's election over Social Democrat incumbent premier Sanna Marin. Orpo must now negotiate with potential partners on the right and left to form a majority coalition, with all options presenting challenges. Orpo's focus will be on reversing a looming recession in Finland. Marin's failure to sell left-leaning economic policies to the Finnish electorate will be noted in Europe. Speculation swirls over Marin's future and whether she will continue as leader of her party in Finland.

Finland's center-right National Coalition Party is set to take power in the general election, pushing incumbent Social Democrat Sanna Marin into third place. The far-right Finns Party came in second. The defeat of Marin would be the latest blow for the European left. Petteri Orpo, the leader of the National Coalition Party, is set to form a government and may seek to include the anti-immigration Finns Party.
