Meet Sanna Marin, The Worlds Youngest Female Prime Minister

Right now Finland is at the forefront of future-forward moves, and their 34 year old female Prime Minister-to-be plays a primary role in that. As Sanna Marin is sworn into office this week, Finnish politics finds itself in an exciting and revolutionary moment in its political history. Sanna Marin, Finland’s current transport and communications minister, is about to change the narrative in Finland, and hopefully this has a domino effect on any world leaders who might be observing her.

Marin is set to be the youngest sitting leader ever, and was voted in by her Social Democratic Party. She is set to lead a coalition government composed of five parties, each of which is headed by women. Nearly all of them, minus the Swedish People’s Party leader and justice minister, are under the age of 40, and they all fight together to counteract populism and its impending rise.

Sanna Marin was nominated for the PM position after Antti Rinne resigned. This comes after losing confidence of an essential coalition partner only half a year after he was sworn in as prime minister. As usual, a fierce and ambitious woman was there, ready to clean up the mess and pave the way for a better world. In her own words, “I want to build a society in which every child can become anything and in which every human being can live and grow old with dignity.”

This is exactly what a world leader should look like in 2020, and we hope that in a few years, younger political heavyweights like Greta Thunberg will follow Marin’s path of success and motivation.
