Finnish Social Democrat leader Rinne vows to focus on climate and social policies after election results indicated his party won the most seats in parliament
Chairman of The Finnish Social Democratic Party Antti Rinne, his wife Heta Ravolainen-Rinne and Party Secretary Antton Ronnholm attend the Party's election party in Helsinki, Finland, April 14, 2019.
The leader of centre-left Social Democratic Party vowed to focus on climate and social policies after election results indicated his party won the most seats in parliament. "For the first time in a long, long time the Social Democrats are in first place," Rinne told reporters at the Finnish parliament.
One predicted the high advance turnout and tight poll margins would make this "the liveliest election of the 2000s". Rinne has been a staunch opponent of the National Coalition's austerity policies over the past four years. The growing Finns Party ratings, on the other hand, appear to be driven by new supporters who have not voted in the past.
