Opposition calls grow for Orpo to resign over economic policy

Finland’s opposition leaders have intensified calls for Prime Minister Petteri Orpo to step down, citing economic performance and rising social pressures, as parliament prepares to debate a motion that will trigger a confidence vote. Left Alliance leader Minja Koskela said the government had failed to deliver on its economic promises and should resign. In a statement, she said the success of policy must be judged by outcomes for citizens. “When Finland's situation is compared to its peer countries, the answer is clear: the situation is bad,” she said.
