Her departure from leadership of the Social Democratic Party of Finland announced Wednesday Sana Marineafter losing the election on Sunday.

Outgoing prime minister noted that he would remain a deputywhile he stressed that he does not consider it likely to receive any ministerial portfolio in the emerging government coalition.

At the same time, given that reports link her to the chair of the Commission in the future (when Ursula von der Leyen’s term ends), she clarified that she had not accepted any offers of a position abroad.

Recall that the Social Democratic Party was defeated in the elections on Sunday in the election campaign, in which the percentage was less than one.

In particular, the former prime minister’s party came in third with 19.9%, a percentage by which it nevertheless increased the number of seats it had so far in parliament. The country’s next prime minister, as all evidence indicates, will be Petri Orpo, leader of the centre-right National Alliance party, which came in first with 20.8%, up 3.6% from the previous election.

The rise of the far right was also impressive as the Finns came in second with 20.1%, the most in their history.
