Sanna Marin, a Rock Star & Youngest Woman to Lead in European, Lose in Election, But Finland Keep Support Ukraine
Kokoomus (The National Coalition Party (NCP; Finnish: Kansallinen Kokoomus) and The Finns Party take over in election (Vaalit 2023). Sanna Marin’s party, SDP (Suomen sosialidemokraattinen puolue) very close behind KOK and The Finns Party, formerly known as the True Finns (Finnish: Perussuomalaiset / PS).
Maybe this number never changed again. After 75.7% votes counted, KOK reaches 45 seats in Parliament, Perussuomalaiset / PS get 44 seats, and SDP gets 43.
After 96%:
KOK 48
PS 46
SDP (still) 43
To the international audience interested in the Finnish election: regarding aid to Ukraine, it doesn't matter if PM Sanna Marin's SDP wins or loses - ALL big parties support Ukraine 100%, and the aid will continue regardless of who wins and who loses.
Of course, some bit concern:
KOKs’ Riikka Purra could become Finland’s next prime minister after today’s parliamentary election. Purra wants to limit non-EU migration & cut public spending, thanks for prolonged Russia - Ukraine war.
Regardless Finnish really loves Ukrainian and hate neighbor (Russia), most Finns focusing on inflation and rising public debt. The Finnish–Russian border is the roughly north–south international border between the Republic of Finland and the Russian Federation. Some 1,340 km (830 mi) long.
Even, new membership of NATO for Finland cannot help Sanna Marin.
Since February 2023, the world also losing energetic - trailblazer women (because resign): Jacinda Kate Laurell Ardern
Sanna Marin just remind me about her:
