Finnish government led by Sanna Marin resigns

The outgoing Prime Minister of Finland, Sanna Marin, presented on Thursday to the president, Sauli Niinisto, the resignation of her government, after the defeat of her formation, the Social Democratic Party (SDP), in the parliamentary elections.

Next week, the center-right National Coalition party, which prevailed in the elections, will begin negotiations to form a coalition government in which it will have to choose between the center-left SDP or the eurosceptic and anti-immigration Finns Party, which broke its record election of 2011, obtaining the second place.
