Just to be clear about how the recent international racism scandal in the Finnish parliament has been dealt with: It hasn't.
The prime minister issued an apology but the racist MPs and their party have shown zero remorse.
In fact, this is a very common pattern in contemporary Finnish politics. The racist party is openly racist but denies it. The leading coalition party apologizes for them but lets them carry on, and in so doing legitimizes their racist behaviour.
