Sanna Marin is 34 beautiful and prime minister of Finland.

The new prime minister of Finland Sanna Marin is not only the youngest ever prime minister in the world but she is a woman that exudes confidence. When she recently attended the conclave of the EU leaders at Brussels, she stood out as a young leader in her own right, in contrast to most leaders being middle-aged or older.

Salesgirl

Not everybody has accepted her and the recent comment by a minister of the Estonia cabinet who referred to her as a"salesgirl" was extremely uncharitable.

 News has reported that the remark was made by Mart Helme. He is the interior ministe

Sanna Marin is unmarried and is reportedly dating Markus Raikkonen. Not much is known about him except that the couple has a daughter and as yet have decided not to get married.

Sanna Marin is only 34 years old. She was earlier the transport minister.

She seized her opportunity earlier this month after the leader of the Social Democratic Party stepped down. She replaced him and became the youngest serving prime minister in the world. Another point that is unique to Finland is that the governing coalition of five parties has all leaders who are women and under the age of 35. This is also a first in the world where so many women leaders are part of the power setup.

Sanna Marin was brought up by her mother. Her parents broke up when she was young and her mother gravitated to a same-sex relationship. She started her career from the bottom rungs of society and by dint of ability rose up in the hierarchy.

Gender equality

Finland has always been at the forefront of gender equality in Europe. It was the first country in the world to elect women to parliament.

Marin undertook her first job at 15 in a bakery. After graduating she worked as a cashier. This job made the Estonia minister refer to her as a salesgirl. Marin entered politics when she was just 20 and has nearly 14 years of political experience. When she was just 27 she was elected as Tempere City Council leader and just three after this, she was elected as an MP. She has not looked back and now is the prime minister of Finland.

Future

Marin will have to be on her toes after the euphoria of being the youngest prime minister settles down. She will have to face factionalism in her party as well as the nationalist Finns party. The best part is she has had a child out of wedlock and only 34. Staying with her boyfriend one hopes she will be able to do justice to the chair she occupies.
