Finland's Sanna Marin youngest PM in world: 'There's no trick'

The Social Democrat leader, 34, was last week sworn in as prime minister for Finland to head a coalition government – in which four out of five coalition leaders are women under 35.

Marin is the youngest serving prime minister in the world, ahead of New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern, 39, and the Ukrainian leader Oleksiy Honcharuk, 35.

I hope the question asked to her by the Guardian wasn't 'Whats the trick'???

This happens when your media is not controlled by the billionaires.

[kacpersuski]

I love her accent composed of british, american and finnish vibes

[sudarshan]

not just her. Finance minister, Home minister, Education minister and one more minister is also female and they are too in 30-35 age bracket.

[MissesWitch]

Oh she's 34. I thought she was going to be like 20.

[exXOwn]

0:20 The way Angela Merkel looks after her is so funny xD

[molonlave]

She is one of the most attractive politicians in the world.

[WORLDNSHKNIGHT]

The same age as myself- heading a nation. I can't even get a job. Damn...

[kiklocus]

they chose 36 year old hot girl to run their country, they expect her to go to bed at 6pm on Friday night? SMH

[outdoorsy]

She's 34. Why is her age being questioned?

[ghoulunathics]

i never thought my first words when seeing our prime minster would be "cuteness overload" :3

[Ihdc]

The rampant sexism and ageism in the comments is appalling. I question whether there are really that many hard core right-wingers in Finland.

[laram]

this comment section is a toxic wasteland

[ChemicalOly]

Content of character and ideas matter, who cares if she’s female and young????

[Ghost-viqm]

She has big beautiful eyes. A Finnish beauty.

[hiimain]

Wow. The beauty of Finland. Competence/quality is what counts. ❤

"There's no trick"

Well yes, but actually no

The preceeding PM is from the same party but resigned so she as VPM got his place. Even if we didn't vote for her or the people she appointed to be the ministers working around her.

"There's no trick. My boss just got caught in corruption and I became the prime minister :)"

[editszabo]

This woman, the Finnish minister, is a vision of where the Finnish community has sunk. Human dignity is no longer a value there. Shame!! Pure America

[LongChill]

She tricked Finland, one of the worst politicians ever. She is very unpopular in Finland but media won’t tell that to you.
