Finnish finance minister Riikka Purra has apologized after she made racist comments in 2008 that were recently discovered online.

The leader of the far-right Finns Party said her old comments were “stupid” and that she was sorry for the harm they had caused. “I apologise for the stupid comments I made 15 years ago on social media and the harm and upset they understandably caused, I am not a perfect person, I have made mistakes,” Purra said in a series of tweets on Tuesday. “Taken out of context and judged in the present, some of the texts seem even worse.

In reaction to the discovery of Purra’s posts, Orpo said his government works for equality and non-discrimination and that there is “zero tolerance” for racism in government work.
