The Finnish Reform Movement (Finnish: Korjausliike, abbr. Korj), previously known as Blue Reform (Finnish: Sininen tulevaisuus/Siniset), was a Finnish conservative political party.
It was founded by the 19 MPs who left the Finns Party on 13 June 2017 in protest against Jussi Halla-aho having been elected party leader. The new parliamentary group of these defectors was initially called New Alternative (Finnish: Uusi vaihtoehto, UV; Swedish: Nytt alternativ, NA).[6] A new name for the party was announced on 19 June.[7] The association of this name was officially registered on 3 July 2017.[2]
The party was chaired by Sampo Terho, the Minister for European Affairs, Culture and Sport, until June 2019.[8] It also included all the other cabinet ministers who were previously members of the Finns Party: Timo Soini, Jussi Niinistö, Jari Lindström and Pirkko Mattila. It was one of the three parties that made up the Sipilä Cabinet until its resignation on 8 March 2019.
It lost all seats in the 2019 election. In April 2022, it changed its name to the Finnish Reform Movement.[citation needed] The party was de-registered in 2023 after failing to win seats in two consecutive parliamentary elections,[9] and dissolved itself two months later.[10]
