Analysis: Different Expectations from the Successors of Kaisa Juuso and Sanni Grahn-Laasonen
The Finnish political scene saw significant changes with the announcements of resignations by two key ministers, triggering the search for their successors.
The past week brought surprising news to political observers in Finland as Riikka Purra, the leader of the Finns Party, announced that Kaisa Juuso was resigning from her position as the Minister of Social Affairs and Health. This announcement was followed the next day by Sanni Grahn-Laasonen from the National Coalition Party, who stated she would be taking parental leave and would be absent for the autumn legislative session, although she plans to return as a minister in January. The simultaneous departures of these ministers indicate a need for replacements, with the Finns Party expected to select Juuso's successor next week, while the National Coalition Party's decision may extend into the spring.
