Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo has issued a formal apology to several Asian countries following a controversy involving racist social media posts by far-right members of Finland’s parliament. The posts, which included images mocking Asian facial features, sparked widespread criticism and were dubbed the 'slanted eyes' scandal by Finnish media. Orpo, who leads a four-party coalition government including the nationalist Finns Party, said the images do not reflect Finland’s values of equality and inclusion. The incident began earlier this month when a friend of a former Miss Finland posted a photo imitating Asian eyes, captioned as dining with a Chinese person. Two Finns Party MPs and one European Parliament member later shared similar images. Finland’s national airline, Finnair, reported negative reactions in Asian markets, while the Finns Party said it would discuss the matter in its upcoming meeting. This is not the first time Orpo’s government has faced racial controversy. In 2023, racist remarks by Finns Party ministers nearly triggered a no-confidence vote, raising questions about the coalition’s stability and Finland’s international image.
