Yikes. They seem to really be in trouble with how many Nazis they're allowing to hold power. Economy Minister resigned because he's a Nazi. Finance Minister is at least a horrific racist but likely also a Nazi. I wonder if it's just a return to the good old days of Finland allying with Nazis and helping Nazis murder Jews.
Finland’s ‘most rightwing government ever’ to cut spending and immigration
Despite being officially "banned" in Finland, the Neo-Nazi Nordic Resistance Movement[^1] seems to be only one-step removed here: both of these Ministers are part of the right-wing "Finns Party" which has direct ties to the Nordic Resistance Movement.
Edit: I said Prime Minister when I meant Economy Minister.
[^1]: Which, rather creepily, has ties to the terrorist Neo-Nazi Azov Batallion that Ukraine has no problems supporting
The Finns Party members have organized and spoken in marches and rallies with the aforementioned banned sect
In WW2 Finland hid Jewish people from the Nazis and the alliance was probably a mandatory evil after not getting support against the other fascists coming over the over
The Finnish government literally extradited Jewish people directly to the Gestapo who were promptly executed.
It's a horrible thing. You can read Finland's views on that in the section World War Ii
