HELSINKI - Finland’s prime minister resigned Tuesday after a key coalition partner withdrew its support from his five-party Cabinet. The announcement prompted the formal resignation of the Cabinet made up of Rinne’s Social Democratic Party, the Center Party, the Greens, the Left Alliance and the Swedish People’s Party of Finland. Parliament will decide on a new prime minister next week. A two-week strike by Finland’s postal workers ended on Nov. 27 after a deal was reached on pay. The strike had led to a one-day sympathy strike by the Nordic country’s transport sector to support the postal workers, prompting flagship airline Finnair to cancel almost 300 flights and disrupting business in the capital.
