After losing the elections to Petteri Orpo and leaving the party at the beginning of the month, the social democrat is preparing for a “new mission” in the organization of the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
“I danced, I sang, I celebrated, I did great things.” Sanna Marin was not referring to her career in Finnish politics when she spoke these words. At the same time, she revealed the controversial video that showed her having fun at a private party and that helped to remove her from the position of prime minister, which she assumed in 2019. But the social democrat has decided that it is “time to continue in front”.
Sanna Marin, who became the country’s youngest prime minister when a coalition of five parties, all led by women, won the legislative elections four years ago, has announced that she will leave Finnish politics and join the Tony Blair Institute.

I am looking forward to taking on a new role. I think Finland can also benefit from this. I think I can serve Finnish voters well, or even better, in this new mission,” he explained on public broadcaster Yle, quoted here by The Guardian.

Some of the functions of Sanna Marin’s new position are to “advise countries, governments and leaders on political issues, such as technologies, climate and gender equality,” she said.
The organization also confirmed that it was easy to choose her for this position, taking into account her “history of achievements”, highlighting Finland’s accession to NATO, which took place in April this year, as “the fastest in the history of the alliance”. . .
