With the 2023 parliamentary elections meaning that the next parliamentary elections will not take place until 2027, 2024 will be more focused on the upcoming presidential elections in January 2024 and the European Parliament elections in June.

Although the Finnish president has limited political power, the election is important for assessing Finnish sentiment. Alexander Stubb, a former prime minister from the current ruling party, the NCP, is leading in the polls.

The complex situation on the eastern border with Russia is at the heart of political news and gives rise to discussions on security and international relations. Especially since Finland recently joined NATO and the even more recent Finnish-US Defence Cooperation Agreement, which will allow US forces to access 15 facilities and store equipment and weapons on Finnish soil.

In addition, the social security cuts recently approved by parliament are a central point, sparking debates about the balance between fiscal responsibility and social protection.
