"Finnish Government Takes Stand Against Racism, Avoiding Collapse Amid Scandals"

Finland's government, which has been embroiled in racism scandals involving far-right ministers, has agreed on a policy to combat intolerance, according to Prime Minister Petteri Orpo. The move aims to prevent the collapse of the right-wing coalition. The government was thrown into turmoil shortly after assuming power when media uncovered racist online postings and articles by ministers from the Finns Party. The policy requires every minister to renounce racism and actively work against it in Finland and internationally. The centrist Swedish People's Party, a smaller member of the coalition, has endorsed the new policy, making it unlikely that the opposition's call for a no-confidence vote will succeed.
