Finland appeared headed for "a new center-right government with nationalist tones," according to political observers.Finland's progressive Prime Minister Sanna Marin has conceded defeat as her ruling social democratic party fell after two right-wing parties both won more seats in parliament in national elections on Sunday.
Marin's Social Democratic Party was supported by 19.9% of voters, but the outgoing prime minister noted in her concession speech that the party won three more seats in Eduskunta, the Finnish parliament. "Observers say the result means a power shift in Finland's political scene as the nation is now likely to get a new center-right government with nationalist tones,"Marin has served as prime minister since 2019 and has won praise from progressives around the world forthe country through the Covid pandemic by promptly invoking the Emergency Powers Act to boost healthcare and social welfare spending and for her vocal support for Ukraine following Russia's invasion last year.
