After coming top in Sunday’s national election, albeit with fewer than 18 percent of the votes, the SDP needs to find several partners before it can secure a parliamentary majority to govern. During the election campaign, Rinne promised voters he would increase public spending, including a promise to increase all state pensions of less than 1,400 euros a month, prompting Orpo to call his economic policies “irresponsible”.
“It’s possible for the National Coalition to participate in a government coalition if we can agree on a realistic understanding over the state of the national economy,” said Orpo, whose party took 17 percent of the ballot.
