Hey Fellow ist verfügbar,
Ich habe gerade eine großartige Rede von Alexander Stubb in UN gesehen und habe mich gefragt, wie es ihm zu Hause geht.
Ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich ihn mehr auf der internationalen Bühne sehe.
Die Rede der Vereinten Nationen war meiner Meinung nach eine der besten, die ich seit langer Zeit von einem Führer gehört habe – Ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecaqx1hcq6g
Was sind deine Ansichten zu ihm?
Danke von einem Schweden

The right dude for times like these
The president of Finland has very little power in domestic politics. His job is mostly about managing international relations, and Stubb is indeed handling that pretty well.
I’m very proud that Stubb is our president, and how our president is taking leadership role.
He’s great in foreign diplomacy.
Pros: social and natural on international level. These qualities are often lacking when it comes to Finnish people, including politicians. I respect that and give credit where credit is due.
Cons: very pro-US, not much genuine criticism towards Trump. Finlandization part II. A bourgeoisie lackey of the Yanks basically.
I think he’s a much better president than a prime minister. He’s always been very interested in the EU and foreign politics so I think being the president is more suitable for him. Here’s a video that probably reflects how he was viewed 10 years ago when he was more prominent in internal finnish politics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgB_2RLFEJk (turn on the subtitles)
One thing I will always remember about him: [Sori siitä!](https://areena.yle.fi/1-50117149)
Good president, disaster of a prime minister.
His government voted against their own proposal.
He’s too pro USA.
A lot of people think he’s doing exactly what a good president should be doing – and I especially voted against him at the elections. I think he has shown that he has a great eye for the international politics, he’s not afraid to open his mouth, but he’s also able to adjust to the environment and has some pretty sharp views on how things are looking and how they are progressing.
So far, I’m happy for his performance as a president.
But, as we know, in political stage, things can change quickly, so, crossing fingers he doesn’t say or do anything dumb.
He finally found his calling.
Hi! Here’s explained what are his duties: [https://www.presidentti.fi/sv/presidentinstitutionen/uppgifter/](https://www.presidentti.fi/sv/presidentinstitutionen/uppgifter/)
And yes, I too feel that he is currently doing excellent job regarding foreign policy. Not that he has forgotten us locals either. Only recently he did for example some very practical [training with our conscripts](https://www.is.fi/kotimaa/art-2000011326716.html).
I don’t think he has a spine, he goes there where he feels the popularity is. I don’t feel he never spoken from the heart, just calculated jargon
It is very difficult to beat Niinistö. He managed to stay mostly scandal-free, while becoming the people’s president or „kansan predidentti“ over his tenure. Stubb is ok, though.
Good diplomat, apparently also quite narcissistic. He has been criticised of putting his [ego ahead of consensus](https://www.mtvuutiset.fi/artikkeli/helena-petaiston-kolumni-kreikkalaiset-inhosivat-rehnia-mutta-urpilaista-ja-stubbia-he-vihasivat/8857302#gs.3e7tuy) quite often, which hasn’t really gone down well with the bigger players in the EU.
The situation has changed since he was the PM, so nowadays being a narcissistic a-hole is probably a benefit when dealing with guys like Trump on behalf of Finland & allies.
