Ministry of Interior refused to publish report over criticism of Finns Party

THE MINISTRY of the Interior has forgone the publication of a report on affective polarisation authored by one of its officials and two university researchers.

Ultimately published by the University of Helsinki, the report was shelved by the ministry because it was perceived to contain criticism of the Finns Party, the populist right-wing member of the current ruling coalition that has been in charge of the Ministry of the Interior.
