Sanna Marin to step down as leader of Finland’s Social Democrats

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:26:03 GMT

Outgoing Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin said Wednesday she would resign as Social Democrat party leader. “Now it’s time to join the ranks again and step down from the party chair’s position,” Marin announced at a press conference, according to Finnish public broadcaster Yle.Marin, whose Social Democrats were defeated in a national election on Sunday, will be replaced by a new party leader at the next party congress, she added.

Editorial: A case Tony Soprano would like

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:26:03 GMT

There’s a big difference between prosecution and persecution.The 34-count indictment against former President Donald Trump is a political hatchet job years in the making. The timing is glaring.Alleged hush-money payments to a porn star — who is now feeding off the renewed notoriety like a shark in the summer — just adds to this Big Apple circus. It is clear these charges will hurt Trump among middle-aged women. That’s a voting bloc he’ll need — if he can survive the legal onslaught that has just been unleashed.Other cases are percolating, and we’ll weigh those on their merits. But this one?The legal foundation of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s case is that Trump allegedly conspired to illegally influence the 2016 election through a series of hush money payments. Porn stars and extramarital affairs make for spicy reading. But this case has been stewing for so long it is just overcooked.Bragg was just the right progressive prosecutor to come...

In final speech, Ardern reflects on leading New Zealand

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:26:03 GMT

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — In her final speech to New Zealand’s Parliament on Wednesday, Jacinda Ardern described in emotional terms how she’d navigated a pandemic and a mass-shooting during her tumultuous five-year tenure as prime minister.She also told humorous anecdotes like how a European leader so admired the striking hair of Ardern’s chief-of-staff that he fluffed it like a hairdresser — which she joked had helped secure a free-trade deal — and how her mother once sent her a uplifting, if somewhat grandiose, message: “Remember, even Jesus had people who didn’t like him.”On a more serious note, she urged lawmakers to take the politics out of climate change. “There will always be policy differences,” Ardern said during her valedictory address, wearing a traditional Māori cloak called a korowai. “But beneath that, we have what we need to make the progress we must.” When Ardern finished speaking after about 35 minutes, she she was greeted wi...
