Finland's Minister for Economic Affairs, Vilhelm Junnila, has apologized for appearing at a rally organized by neo-Nazi groups and making a joke about the number '88', which is coded shorthand for Heil Hitler. Junnila, from the far-right Finns Party, was sworn in to his new role on Tuesday. The rally was arranged by an organization called the Coalition of Nationalists, an umbrella group formed in 2017 for those on the far-right, including the now-banned Nordic Resistance Movement militia and the Soldiers of Odin vigilante movement. Junnila said he wouldn't participate again in such an event.
