What's more Marin, who was tapped Sunday by Finland's ruling Social Democratic Party, will head a five-party, center-left coalition in which all the parties are led by women — four of them in their early 30s.
And like New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern — Marin is a new mother, having given birth to her daughter Emma last year. Raised by a single mother, she told Finnish broadcaster how she felt discriminated against when her mother was in a relationship with another woman.
A lawmaker since 2015, Marin is the party's vice chairwoman and was minister for transport and communications in the outgoing government.
Lawmakers are likely to approve the appointment of Marin and her government this week so she can represent Finland at the Dec. 12-13 EU leaders’ summit in Brussels, according to ABC News.
"She felt discriminated against when her mother was in a relationship with another woman" Well...that sums up the reason behind the win. Not surprised at all.
