Marin, a rising star in Finland’s Social Democratic Party since first entering Parliament in 2015, previously served as the Minister of Transport and Communications since June of this year.
自2015年加入國會以來，馬林就一直是芬蘭社會民主黨的政治明星，自今年6月開始擔任交通部長。

In another unusual development, Marin will lead a five-party, center-left coalition alongside four other parties that are all headed by women — three of whom are in their early 30s.
更了不起的是，馬林將領導由五個黨派組成、中間偏左的聯合政府，除她所屬的社會民主黨之外，其他四個黨派的主席都是女性，有三位都是30出頭歲，

Her own background also breaks the mold: she comes from a low-income home and was the first in her family to earn a university degree. But it’s not just that — Marin was raised by her mother and her mother’s female partner, and she has described facing discrimination in Finland due to her background.
馬林個人的背景也打破了傳統框架，她出身低收入家庭，從小由媽媽和媽媽的女性伴侶養大，更曾提到自己有因為家庭背景而被歧視的經驗。

Marin was voted in by her party after the incumbent prime minister, Antti Rinne, resigned amid political turmoil caused by a postal worker strike.

In the general election in April, the Social Democrats took power after narrowly edging out the far-right, populist Finns Party.

The victory was considered a triumph for Finland’s liberal, equal society over a party that ran on a platform of advocating anti-immigration policies and impeding anti-climate change measures, but polls show that the Finns Party has since gained in popularity.
社會民主黨的勝利被認為是芬蘭的自由、平等社會價值的勝利，擊敗了以提倡反移民政策和阻礙防止氣候變遷措施為政見的芬蘭人黨，不過民調顯示，芬蘭黨在大選後反而支持度更高。

With strikes continuing as she took office and populist nationalism looming over Finland’s politics, it remains to be seen whether Ms. Marin’s rise will help settle the labor unrest and stem the rising tide of right-wing nationalistic tendencies which are not only evident in Finland but across much of Europe.
隨著罷工持續進行以及民粹國家主義逐步侵吞芬蘭政治圈，馬林的崛起是否將有助於解決罷工問題，並遏止不僅在芬蘭，且在歐洲大部分地區都正在快速崛起中的右翼民族主義，仍有待觀察。
