The Social Democratic Party (SDP) of Finland has concluded its party congress, electing a new leadership and approving a revised political program that will guide the party's strategy towards the upcoming parliamentary elections. Antti Lindtman, who is set to deliver a significant policy speech, will articulate the party's direction.
During the congress, the SDP elected its vice-chairs: Nasima Razmyar, Niina Malm, and Pinja Perholehto. Further selections were made for the party board, including Members of Parliament Lauri Lyly, Riitta Kaarisalo, Krista Kiuru, and Timo Suhonen.
The newly adopted political program incorporates provisions for extending the border security law, often referred to as the "turnover law." A proposed amendment to loosen the "debt brake" did not pass, although it garnered support from approximately one-third of the delegates.
