Orpo says government stays on course after day spent on language row
Finland’s government postponed the opening of its budget negotiations on Monday after a political crisis erupted over comments made by a senior figure from the Finns Party. The talks, originally planned to begin with economic briefings from the Bank of Finland and Ministry of Finance, were delayed as party leaders held an urgent internal meeting to address statements made by Teemu Keskisarja , a Finns Party MP and the party’s first vice chair.
