A populist party won big. How?
The Finns Party, which campaigned for a hard line on immigration and wants Finland to eventually leave the European Union, came second in Sunday’s election. Orpo has said that his party is open to working with the Finns, the Associated Press reported.
Teivainen said the success of the Finns Party, led by Riikka Purra, was not surprising. The party has been strong for the past decade and has in recent years gained popularity among younger voters particularly through use of TikTok. Purra said Sunday that the win was the party’s “best election result ever.”
“Among young people, it is the party with the biggest number of supporters,” Teivainen said. He added that while many younger people do not necessarily agree with the party’s policies on migration and race, many believe it produces “cool TikTok videos.”
