There was unprecedented international media interest about Finland's parliamentary elections, which were held on Sunday.
Yle examined some of the election coverage from around the world.
Finland's centre-right National Coalition Party won Sunday's parliamentary elections, with the nationalist Finns Party in second place. Behind them, was Prime Minister Sanna Marin's Social Democrats.
After the results came in, UK newspaper the Guardian announced that Marin had lost a struggle to remain in power, but noted that Finland's next PM, Petteri Orpo, would continue supporting Ukraine as it defends itself against Russia's aggression.
Other English-speaking outlets suggested the defeat was a personal one for Marin, as the UK's BBC said that PM Marin had lost to a wave of conservatism in "a nail-biting three-way election race."
US cable news outlet CNN reported about Marin conceding defeat as the NCP claimed victory.
"Marin, 37, the world's youngest prime minister when she took office in 2019, is considered by fans around the globe as a millennial role model for progressive new leaders, but at home she has faced criticism for her partying and her government’s public spending," CNN reported.
The New York Times noted that the right-wing Finns Party had made efforts to soften its image with the leadership of Riikka Purra and skillfully used social media, particularly reaching young voters, in the run-up to the election.
Nordic comparisons and reactions
News outlets in Finland's Nordic neighbour, Sweden, often wondered about the fate of the "superstar" PM, Sanna Marin.
A column in Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet described the situation as strange, suggesting that the leader of the winning centre-right NCP, Petteri Orpo, is the polar opposite of Sanna Marin, characterising him as a colourless and anonymous politician.
Swedish papers, includin Svenska Dagbladet, said there were a surprising number of similarities between the results of Finland's parliamentary elections with last September's elections in Sweden, when the right-wing Sweden Democrats party saw a major spike in voter support, paving its way into government.
This week, Yle News released an election coverage special edition of the All Points North podcast. You can listen on this embedded player, on Yle Areena or via Spotify.
Over in Norway, national broadcaster NRK has already introduced NCP leader Petteri Orpo as Finland's next prime minister.
Danish newspaper Politiken declared that PM Marin's defeat marked the end of an era in Finnish politics, suggesting that voters had tired of her party's ideals and instead sought economic stability.
Spiegel: Marin may head to Brussels
German news outlets also covered Finland's election. Public broadcasting service ARD noted that, unlike Marin's Social Democrats, the NCP had not ruled out cooperation with the populist Finns Party.
German public broadcasting company ZDF headlined the election result as a "Defeat for Sanna Marin."
The German publication Die Welt noted that it was exceptional the Social Democrats managed to increase their number of seats in parliament, pointing out that usually, ruling parties in Finland end up losing seats in elections. The publication also noted the poor results suffered by the Green party.
Meanwhile, Spiegel magazine's analysis of the election results suggested that Finland is headed for a political shift to the right, a development which could prompt Sanna Marin to head abroad.
"According to rumours, [Marin] may soon be a candidate for a high office in Brussels," Spiegel hinted.
France notes "rockstar" Marin's defeat
French newspaper Le Figaro noted that "rockstar prime minister" Marin is considerably more controversial in Finland than she is abroad, especially in terms of the management of public finances and high inflation rates. These factors helped the right-leaning parties win the election, according to the paper.
Le Monde called Finland's next PM, Orpo, a "somewhat boring politician" not known in the international arena.
Finland's parliamentary elections were covered by a broad variety of outlets, including international news agencies AFP, AP, Reuters, Bloomberg, the Financial Times, the New York Times and Japanese public broadcaster NHK, among others.
