Rinne was Finance Minister from June 2014 to May 2015 , first in the Katainen cabinet and later in the Stubb cabinet . He became a member of parliament in the 2015 general election . Since 2013 he has also been a member of the Mäntsälä city ​​council . In the 2019 parliamentary elections , the SDP was the strongest force with Rinne as the top candidate. In June 2019, Rinne was elected 66th Prime Minister of the Republic of Finland. On December 3, 2019, he submitted his resignation from this office. On December 10, 2019, Sanna Marin was elected as his successor as Prime Minister without breaking the coalition.

Childhood and youth

Rinne's parents both worked as lawyers. His father, Juhani Rinne, was also a local politician and mayor of Lohja . In his childhood, Rinne said he played the clarinet . The family initially lived in Loviisa , but later moved to Hyvinkää because of their father's work . Rinne later stated that the move had been a challenge for him because of changing schools.

After graduating from high school in 1980, Rinne first worked in a sawmill and as a driver. He then worked as an actor for two years and also worked for the actor Veikko Sinisalo . In 1985 Rinne began studying law at the University of Helsinki and graduated in 1987 - after only one and a half years of study.

Trade unionists

From 1987 Rinne worked as a lawyer in Mäntsälä and worked, among other things, for the automobile and transport workers' union AKT . In 1996, Rinne had to resign from his position as AKT lawyer and his professional career was interrupted for years. Suomen Kuvalehti stated in 2005 that Rinne had to resign because he had billed the same business trip twice. According to Rinne, it was negligence and a sum of around 1,000 FIM. However, the then AKT President Kauko Lehikoinen claimed that it was 10,000 FIMs. In an interview with Helsingin Sanomat in May 2014, Lehikoinen said that he later found out that the allegations against Rinne were fabricated.

In May 2002, Rinne was elected chairman of the ERTO service union . During Rinnes tenure, membership increased and in 2005 the union had around 30,000 members. In December 2010 he was elected chairman of the Ammattiliitto Pro union . In November 2012 he was confirmed in this office.

Finland's most famous trade unionist

Rinne is considered the best-known Finnish trade union leader, who often threatened to go on strike and consciously built a reputation as a “labor market leader”. As chairman of ERTO, Rinne was seen by many as a “shame”, and there was always resistance to him in the member council. According to Rinne, his harshness is largely a media image.

In 2007, high-ranking officials in the YTN union condemned Rinnes' speeches as "aggressive" and accused him of systematically attempting to downsize. According to YTN, Rinne also undermines the cooperation with wage earners.

In February 2009, the Financial Services Authority criticized Rinne for revealing confidential information during a phone call that union leaders reported about the paper mills shutdown an hour before the stock market release was sent out.

politics

On May 9, 2014, Rinne, who is assigned to the left wing of the party, prevailed against the incumbent Jutta Urpilainen in the election for the chairmanship of the SDP with 257 to 243 votes . On June 6, 2014, he followed Urpilainen as Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of Finland. At that time he was a member of the Katainen Cabinet and the subsequent Stubb Cabinet .

After the poor performance of the Social Democrats in the parliamentary elections on April 19, 2015 , they decided not to belong to the newly formed cabinet of the center chairman Juha Sipilä ; Rinne left the Finnish government on May 29, 2015 and became opposition leader in the Finnish parliament.

After the parliamentary elections in 2019 , in which the Social Democrats became the strongest party, Rinne became head of government. His cabinet included politicians from the Social Democrats, the Center , the Greens, the Left Alliance and the Swedish People's Party.

After Rinne backed the workers' demands on the occasion of a strike at the semi-public Finnish Post, the co-ruling Center Party withdrew his trust. He then submitted his resignation and that of the entire government on December 3, 2019. President Sauli Niinistö asked him to remain in office until a successor was elected. Sanna Marin was elected Prime Minister on December 10, 2019 .

Rinne has been the first Vice President of the Finnish Parliament since December 11, 2019.
