Finland Anoints Sanna Marin--World's Youngest Serving Prime
Minister
The Guardian #芬蘭總理 #female #prime minister
Finland will have the world’s youngest serving prime minister later when Social Democrat Sanna Marin, 34, is sworn in at the head of a coalition whose four other parties are all led by women, three of them in their thirties.
Marin, currently the transport minister, will take over from Antti Rinne, a former trade unionist who resigned last week after just six months in office when he lost the confidence of the Centre party, a coalition partner, over his handling of a postal strike. Marin will become the Nordic country’s youngest ever head of government, but she said that she had “never thought about my age or gender. I think of the reasons I got into politics, and those things for which we have won the trust of the electorate.”
The five-party, Social Democrat-led coalition has agreed to stay together and maintain the policy programme it announced in June, focusing on major increases in public spending on welfare and infrastructure, and a pledge to make the country carbon neutral by 2035. Marin, who narrowly won her party’s vote on Dec. 8th to replace Rinne as prime minister, said the programme “glues the coalition together”, but admitted the new government had “a lot of work to do to rebuild trust”. Her Social Democrats currently stand at just 13% in the polls, well behind the nationalist Finns on 24%.
The four other female party leaders in the coalition are Li Anderson, 32, who heads the Left Alliance; Maria Ohisalo, 34, of the Green League; Katri Kulmuni, 32, from the Centre party, who was named finance minister on Dec. 9th; and Anna-Maja Henriksson, 55, of the Swedish People’s party.
Finland’s former prime minister Alexander Stubb lauded the coalition, saying it “shows that Finland is a modern and progressive country”. Stubb tweeted: “My party is not in government, but I rejoice that the leaders of the five parties in government are female.”
現年34歲，隸屬芬蘭社會民主黨的桑娜馬林（Sanna Marin）即將宣誓就職，成為全世界最年輕的總理，而芬蘭聯合政府其他四黨的領導人也皆為女性，其中三位一樣是30幾歲。
桑娜馬林目前為交通部長，將從安蒂李納（Antti Rinne）手中接下總理一職。安蒂李納上任僅6個月後在上週下台，因為他無力處理郵政罷工事件，遭中間黨（Centre Party）表達不信任。桑娜馬林將成為最年輕的北歐國家總理，但她本人卻表示「（我）從未在意自己的年齡與性別，只想起自己從政的原因，而那也是贏得選民信任的因素。」
聯合五大政黨、由社會民主黨帶領的聯合政府已經同意齊心維持6月通過的政策方案，專注於增加社福與基礎建設開支，並承諾在2035讓芬蘭達到碳中和（carbon neutral）。桑娜馬林在12月8日以些微差距擊敗安蒂李納成為新任總理，她表示，政策方案凝聚了聯合政府，但也承認新政府「需要花很大的力氣重建信任。」她所屬的社會民主黨目前民調僅佔13%，遠遠落後芬蘭人黨的24％。
聯合政府其他四黨的女性領導人包含了左翼聯盟（Left Alliance）的莉安德森（Li Anderson） 、綠色聯盟（Green League）的瑪利亞奧希薩洛（Maria Ohisalo）、12月9日甫被任命為經濟部長的中間黨（Centre Party）的卡特麗庫爾穆尼（Katri Kulmuni）與芬蘭瑞典人黨（Swedish People’s party）的亨利克頌（Anna-Maja Henriksson）。
芬蘭前總理史塔布（Alexander Stubb）讚揚聯合政府，表示「其展現出芬蘭是個現代進步的國家。」史塔布更在推特上寫道「聯合政府中並沒有我的黨，但我非常開心政府的五個黨派領導人皆為女性。」
