On December 8 local time, the five party coalition government led by the Finnish Social Democratic Party announced the selection of transport minister Sanna Marin as the new Prime Minister of Finland. Marin will become the youngest prime minister in Finnish history.
According to Reuters, Marin, 34, will take office in the next few days, when she will become the youngest incumbent prime minister in the world. " "We still have a lot of work to do to rebuild trust," Marin said after winning the party's vote by a narrow margin. Andy middot, head of the party's parliamentary group; Antti lindtman followed.
Marin became the speaker of Tampere City Council at the age of 27. Since then, she has risen rapidly in politics. After the Finnish general election in April this year, the Social Democratic Party has become the largest party and will have the right to appoint a person from the party to the post of prime minister. Andi & middot, chairman of the party; Lynne then became Prime Minister of Finland and formed a new government. Due to the unfavorable handling of labor disputes in Finnish Post, a state-owned enterprise, Lin Nei resigned as prime minister on December 3 local time.

In September this year, the Finnish Post company announced a reduction in the wages of more than 700 parcel sorting workers. Since November 11, the Finnish postal Trade Union began to hold a large-scale strike involving nearly 10000 people, and triggered a wave of supportive strikes by workers in other industries. After more than two weeks of difficult labor negotiations, the strike finally ended in a compromise between the management.
Since then, the opposition parties have asked the prime minister to resign on the grounds of ineffective handling of labor disputes in state-owned enterprises. On December 2, the middle party, one of the cabinet cooperation parties, also publicly expressed its loss of trust in Lin Nei.
