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.

Finland's New Right-Wing Government Implements Immigration Crackdown and Spending Cuts.

Finland's new right-wing government, led by the National Coalition Party, the far-right Finns Party, the Christian Democrats, and the Swedish People's Party, plans to cut €4 billion in spending, including cuts to social security and education, and increasing VAT. The government is also expected to take a tougher stance on immigration and climate change, with the Finns Party opposing radical steps to fight climate change and wanting to lower the price of petrol. The Swedish People's Party risks its reputation by joining a far-right party in government, and Finland's international reputation may suffer due to cuts in international aid and a less welcoming stance towards asylum seekers.
