TL;DR
Finland's economy minister, Vilhelm Junnila, has resigned after just 10 days in office following controversy over Nazi references he made at a far-right event four years ago.

The resignation comes shortly after his party, the nationalist Finns Party, joined Finland's new right-wing coalition government.
