Summary
Finland’s four-party government won a parliamentary confidence vote 102-83, defeating an opposition challenge to Prime Minister Petteri Orpo’s coalition.
The motion was triggered by concern over youth unemployment, which has reached 10.6%, and by worries that young Finns are losing faith in the future.
The result keeps Orpo’s government in office for now, while underscoring political pressure to show progress on jobs and prospects for younger people.
