Ministers To Prime Minister Marin The Guardian: Building a welfare state is an ongoing task

Finland is committed to maintaining and building a prosperous society in a responsible manner. Construction is also being done regardless of which parties are in the country’s government.

That is what the Prime Minister believes Sanna Marin (sd) The Guardian in an interview with the magazine.

“We have always worked for equality in Finland and I believe it will continue to be important not only between men and women or between the sexes, but also for minority groups in society.”

“We need to make sure the structures aren’t in the way of people. That’s why we have a lot to do. ”

In an interview Finland’s achievements will be reviewed, including a program of measures to eradicate homelessness and reforms in compulsory education and parental leave.

For the latter, the idea, according to Marini, is for parents to spend as much time at home with their young children. This would help both parents achieve the same opportunities in their careers, which in turn would reduce the gender pay gap.

In foreign policy Marin is taking a clear stand on the hybrid operation in Belarus.

“We have to say this is not acceptable. We condemn the actions of Belarus. At the same time, however, we must ensure that human rights are respected in this situation. “

According to Marin, Finland’s biggest challenge is climate change, but at the same time it can also be a “great opportunity” for Finnish companies.

“We want to make a difference [hiilineutraaliuteen] in a way that benefits ordinary people. There is nothing we can do if people are not involved in change. ”
