Purra apologises for past comments, Orpo assures government won't fall

MINISTER OF FINANCE Riikka Purra (PS) has apologised for her old online comments after demands from several lawmakers that she and the entire government unequivocally reject racism, violence and discrimination.

“I apologise for my stupid comments on social media 15 years ago and the harm and grievance they have understandably caused. I’m not a perfect person, I’ve made mistakes,” she wrote yesterday afternoon on Twitter.
