Finns Party Youth

Finns Party Youth (Finnish: Perussuomalaiset Nuoret, Swedish: Finsk Ungdom) is the former youth wing of the Finns Party, a political party in Finland. The youth wing was officially founded in 2006. However, Finns Party decided to cut ties with Finns Party Youth due to the perceived ethno nationalist support in the youth wing in 2020. The youth wing went bankrupt in May of 2020, due to the cut support.[1] The temporary chair of the new youth wing is Jenna Simula, a current MP.[2]

The current chairperson is Asseri Kinnunen, and the secretary general is Toni Saarinen.[3]

Since 2013 the youth wing has published a magazine titled Rahvas.[4]
