IIRC, in the EU “right” is liberal while “left” is conservative, at least compared to our system. Not sure if Finland follows that same pattern, but the globalist part is troubling.

Just about his entire career is directed toward "Transnational Governance".

Not sure what is "right wing" about him.

"Stubb’s background is in academia, civil service and politics. He holds a Ph.D. in international relations from the London School of Economics, a Master’s degree in EU administration from the College of Europe in Bruges, and a B.A. in political science from Furman University in South Carolina."

Center-Right globalist and, believe it or not, he was the conservative choice in the race over a Socialist Green. But that’s just Nordic politics for you, the choice is between far left and not quite as far left.
