Finland’s Government Collapses Weeks Before General Election
DOMINIC CHOPPING MARCH 08, 2019
Finland’s government collapsed Friday, just weeks before the country heads to the polls
for a general election, after the prime minister failed to win approval for key reforms.
Prime Minister Juha Sipilä has struggled to get social and health-care reforms that he
made the cornerstone of his government’s four-year term through parliament. The project
aimed to overhaul Finland’s regional government, health and social services to bring down
costs and safeguard the system amid an aging population.

COPENHAGEN — Finland’s center-right government, headed by Prime Minister Juha Sipila,
resigned on Friday after failing to push through an overhaul of social and health care programs.
“I take the responsibility for the failure. It has been a huge disappointment to me,” Mr. Sipila
said at a news conference, according to the public broadcaster YLE. The changes, he added,
“had been one of our most important projects.”
President Sauli Niinisto accepted the resignation of Mr. Sipila, who came to power in May 2015
and will continue to serve in a care-taking role. The move came just weeks before parliamentary
elections, scheduled for April 14, to renew the country’s 200-seat Eduskunta assembly.
