ESTONIA APOLOGIZES AFTER NEW FINLAND PM TAUNTED

Estonia apologized to Finland after Estonia’s interior minister mocked Finland’s new prime minister — the world’s youngest-serving government leader — as “a sales girl” and questioned her ability to run the Nordic country. Mart Helme, 70, Estonian interior minister and leader of the far-right party Ekre, on Sunday ridiculed Finnish Prime Minister Sanna

Marin, 34, and her government, in which four out of five coalition leaders are women under 35.

“Now we see how one sales girl has become a prime minister and how some other street activists and non-educated people have also joined the cabinet,” Helme said on his party’s radio talk show. His comments prompted the opposition to call for his resignation.
