Toni Kurkimäki was born on 6 September 1978 in Lapua, Finland. He is a director and writer, known for Lapua 1976 (2023), Huhtikuu (2014) and Tammisunnuntai 1918 (2017).- After school, Jäätteenmäki began studying law at the University of Helsinki in the mid-1970s. There she took part in the activities of the student organization of the Finnish Center Party. When Jäätteenmäki successfully completed her studies in 1980, she initially completed a traineeship at the Foreign Ministry. Shortly afterwards, however, she abandoned her desired career in the diplomatic service in order to accept the position of speaker and lawyer for the center faction in parliament.
The center politician won a mandate for the first time in the 1987 parliamentary elections. Since then, she has been a member of the Finnish Parliament without interruption, where she has been particularly active in international issues. Since the 1990s she has also been involved in the preparations for EU integration. In the spring of 1994, Jäätteenmäki was given the office of Justice Minister, which she held until the change of government the following year. Despite her short term in office, she distinguished herself as a courageous and straightforward politician in this role and with her support for Finland's accession to the EU, even in the face of opposition within the party.
In 2000, the Center opposition party elevated Jäätteenmäki to the position of interim president, which led to her first electoral successes at the local level. After the political failures of the previous party leader Esko Aho, the politician was finally elected president of the center in June 2002. The opposition politician soon distinguished herself as a determined opponent of the incumbent Finnish Prime Minister Pavoo Tapio Lipponen. Especially in the run-up to the parliamentary elections in March 2003, Jäätteenmäki gained great sympathy through her convincing campaign leadership.
Her clear positioning against the Iraq war gave her a popularity advantage among the population over the then head of government. On March 16, 2003, the party leader led her party to a brilliant election victory. A little later, Jäätteenmäki was tasked with forming the government. The Finnish Prime Minister then governs the Scandinavian country, with further EU integration and the social and political emancipation of women particularly important to her. After her resignation as Prime Minister and leader of the Center Party, Matti Vanhanen was elected as her successor on October 5, 2003.
Jäätteenmäki later ran for the European Parliament, where she served as a member of parliament.
