Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin, who in 2019 became the world's youngest premier at 34, is battling to stay in power in an election on Sunday as the country faces a recession and her challengers accuse her government of bloated public spending

But both challengers say Marin's five-party coalition failed to rein in public finances, and promise to put an end to a cycle of borrowing if they win.With public debt at 71% of GDP as of the third quarter of 2022, up from 65% when Marin took office in late 2019, mainly due to spending to support businesses and households through the coronavirus pandemic and the impact of the war in Ukraine, Finland's indebtedness ranked 10th among the 20 euro zone nations, according to Eurostat.

Finland's economy survived the COVID pandemic better than those of most European countries, but growth slowed down to 1.9% last year and the country is expected to tip into a mild recession this year, while inflation peaked at 9.1% in December.his priority was to put debt back on a healthy track, even if that would mean painful cuts to welfare spending, such as unemployment benefits.

Marin has rejected forming a government with the Finns Party, calling it "openly racist" during a debate in January - an accusation Purra sternly rejected.

Sanna Cocaini, has already done enough for the long-suffering Finnish people...

Good riddence!

She should throw a party, people were impressed

Too young, no life experience, too WOKE… no thanks! 👎

Sound familiar? Unqualified, inexperienced, unfit for purpose PM drives country to ruin via unfettered spending of “infinite” taxpayer money…it’s just a smaller version of Canada and its clown Prince trudeau

She'll lose. She have been worst PM in Finland. Always accusing others her own mistakes, don't admit making any mistakes, make promises what Finland can't keep. School and healthcare systems are in crisis.

on shoes 👠

How did following the US against the Communists lead to starvation?

Hollywood beckons if all else fails. 😘✌😘

Ok, infer as lost. Good news is she will have more time for raunchy parties. Bad news, she has to pay for it herself. 🤷

Please, dear Finnish friends, send this socialist barbie doll packing; she can put on her squeaky shoes and dance her out into oblivion. She's embarrassed your country enough already!

Sanna, I can have a dinner with you. But then leave politics.

🤡

Go Sanna!

She's pretty let her rule 🥰

Twerking strippers are never a good idea… in politics at any rate

Finland is so doomed with this people who believe NATO is a force of good. NATO is a force for good just for white woke europeans who dont understand what is NATO. The movement to sanction Russia is turning the world agaisnt the dollar and Europe is going down. What a superb work

This is the one that goes out clubbing right?

dumb pretty does not a good economy make

It's almost as if socialism doesn't work.

Pretty face is not enough to rule a country.

She can then go back to partying and cheating full-time, no excuses, no fucks given

Go wokw...go broke

FKD her way to the top thats what

Okay.

What we need is not young, we need experienced!

All what she is, was a pretty face. People realized that pretty soon. There should be worldwide a minimum and a maximum age for Higher Politicians, because those people are influencing the whole world, not just their country!

This is an elegant opportunity to return to her party and „all the rest“ life. Run girl, run…

There should be a minimum age of 40 to be a politician with a minimum period of real work experience of 20 years outside of politics and academia. 1/2

Recession, Sanctions, Russia, Finland..

Get her out, she is a puppet of the WEF.

UBAGroup return my money back pls

Sanna Marin, who honors nazi criminals un Ukraine...

Only bright red lipstick can save her 😊🙏🕯️💄

If people in Finland are so happy then why do so many of you retire in Thailand?

Politics is a rough business. It's a jungle out there. MarinSanna

Why doesn't she use the NATO-Russia proxy war in Ukraine to convince people to tighten her crip on power? POTUS will be using it against Trump soon.

Uncle Sam’s puppet

Another WEF puppet going down !

Older politicians are jealous of her courage and leadership. I personally hope she gets re-elected. Finland and EU need people like sannamarin … teamed together with highly dynamic & experienced experts.

But she's so hot..

Still the happiest country 🫡

She is hot

Russian bots are working overtime to make sure all those supporting Ukraine, lose to a Russian poppet. Not going to happen

You mean the Millennial party girl is not well suited to lead a country?

She's one of the biggest lapdogs the US govt has in Europe. I was wrong about her. I thought she was intelligent and a very independent 'leader'.

No worries. The U.S. will use propaganda and make sure she gets elected.

She’s a beauty

Careful Finland, you could have a bloated budget and not care about a single soul in your country

Careful Finland, you could have a bloated budget and not care about a single soul on your country

She became premier because ppl wanted to try young ppl and not the old. too bad that narrative and rhetoric didn't stick. we still need ppl with experience.

Pray for Finland

Hot
