How will Minister Juuso's resignation be discussed during the parliamentary question time? Follow live
The Finnish Parliament will hold an oral question session today, following the resignation of Minister Kaisa Juuso and her announcement of taking sick leave.
The Finnish Parliament is convening for an oral question session at 4 PM today, where the focus will be on the resignation of Kaisa Juuso, the Minister of Social Affairs and Health. Reports earlier in the day from Yle indicated that Juuso, a member of the Finns Party, has decided to step down from her ministerial role. This decision has raised significant attention, prompting Finance Minister Riikka Purra, also from the Finns Party, to hold a press conference regarding the matter.
Minister Juuso's resignation comes amidst her announcement that she will also be taking medical leave, further complicating her departure from the cabinet. This unfolding situation will likely dominate discussions during the parliamentary session, as lawmakers address the implications of her resignation and the potential impact on health policy and the government's stability.
Yle is providing live coverage of the parliamentary question session on its TV1 channel and Yle Areena, allowing the public and interested parties to follow the developments in real-time. As this situation progresses, it will be crucial to observe how this resignation affects the political landscape in Finland, particularly in terms of the government’s health strategy and the internal dynamics of the Finns Party.
