The right-wing nationalist Finns Party in Finland has experienced a significant increase in support, with 20 percent of the vote and a position in the governing coalition. However, since coming into power, the party has faced controversies, including racist remarks and a lawmaker firing a gun outside a bar. The finance minister and party chair, Riikka Purra, acknowledged the party's challenges but emphasized their appeal to people outside traditional politics. The lawmaker, Timo Vornanen, involved in the recent incident, fired a gun after a bar brawl, leading to his expulsion from the party. The incident has sparked criticism from within the party and government officials. Despite efforts to improve their image while in government, the party continues to face scandals, challenging their position as a government party.
