In Finland, there is something absolutely wild for the time.
In any case, if you look at the nordic country with the eyes of the world.
Sanna Marin, who on Tuesday afternoon was designated as the country’s prime minister, is only 34 years old and has really gotten the world’s attention the past day.
The 32-year-old Li Andersson, the 32-year-old Katri Kulmini, 34-year-old Maria Ohisalo and Anna-Maja Henriksson at 55.
IN the UNITED states, one can almost feel the obvious gape of the five women in the media columns.
the Reason is that Sanna Marin has been selected to become the youngest head of government in the world. It happened on Tuesday, when she for the first time took the post.
The four other women have also gained attention, as they are the leaders of the four parties which support the socialist government with just Sanna Marin in the front.
The major u.s. media Vox uses the title ‘Finland’s new parliament is dominated by women under 35’.
the New York Times describes the matter by the title, ‘Sanna Marin from Finland will be the world’s youngest prime minister’.
While the Washington Post writes: ‘A government led by the five women and the world’s youngest prime minister’.
And in all three media, one must just explain that it’s actually not so crazy in Finland.
the Country has a tradition of female leaders.
Back in 2000, got Finland its first female president, while the first woman took office as prime minister in 2003.
At the last election consisted of the Finnish parliament of the 47 percent of women in Denmark has the number never been over 40.
Even is Sanna Marin not so focused on his sex or his age, of a prime minister to be.
“I’ve never actually thought about my age or my gender. I think of the reasons I went into politics, and on the things, which is why we got the support of voters,” she said to the Finnish media YLE.
Sanna Marin was first graduated from the university of Tampere in 2017 with a degree in political science.
Already, two years before – in 2015 – she was elected to the Finnish parliament. In 2012, she began her political career as councillor in the southern part of Tampere – Finland’s third largest city.
The first state she took the 6. June 2019, when she was transport minister in the socialist government.
Only a half year later they are sitting now as the youngest head of government in the entire world.
It came to pass, when the now former prime minister Antti Rinne, resigned from the post after a strike by the country’s postal workers.
the World was truly made aware of the exceptional situation of young women in power in Finland, as a former prime minister found a picture that he put on Twitter with the following text:
‘My party is not in government, but I applaud that all the leaders of the five parties in the government are women. It shows that Finland is a modern and progressive country. The majority of my government were also women. A day will sex not mean anything in a government. But until then, pioneers,’ writes Alexander Stubb, former conservative prime minister.
With Sanna Marin’s appointment as prime minister, she is thus the fourth female head of government in the Nordic countries. In Denmark we have Mette Frederiksen, Iceland Katrín Jakobsdóttir, and Erna Solberg is the prime minister in Norway. Only in Sweden do they settle with a man in the form of Stefan Löfven.
