A paper has been drafted on both issues, conservative Petteri Orpo said Friday evening at a press conference with the leaders of the three other parties with which he wants to form a centre-right alliance. These documents aren’t perfect, but they are progress, Orpo said. Negotiations would continue on Saturday. The Swedish People’s Party involved also wanted to decide on Saturday during a group meeting whether it approves the papers.

The four party leaders did not look really satisfied. The head of the right-wing populist Finns party, Riikka Purra, had earlier on Friday threatened to suspend negotiations if the results were not satisfactory.

Orpo’s conservative National Coalition Party came out on top in Finland’s parliamentary elections in early April, ahead of right-wing populists and social democrats led by former Prime Minister Sanna Marin. At the beginning of May, Orpo then started official negotiations on future government cooperation with the Finns Party, the Swedish People’s Party and the Christian Democrats. However, the parties sometimes take very different positions, especially when it comes to immigration and climate protection.
