Jutta Urpilainen Biography

Jutta Urpilainen is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on August 4, 1975 in Lapua, Finland. Jutta Pauliina Uropilainen (born on August 4, 1975, in Lapua) is a Finnish politician from Finland. The first woman to be chairperson of the Social Democratic Party of Finland which she was the chairman of from 2008 until 2014. She served as the minister of Finance of Finland between 2011 and 2014. From 1 December , 2019, she has been an official in charge of international partnerships within the European Commission led by Ursula von der Leyen.

Urpilainen was an MP for the Vaasa constituency since the national elections of 2003. She was an active part of the Committee on Education and Culture and was a deputy member of the Finance Committee. Apart from her duties in parliament she served also as a part of the Advisory Council of the Finnish Institute of International Affairs.

After the 2011 parliamentary election, in which the SDP became the second- largest party, Urpilainen was appointed Minister of Finance and Deputy Prime Minister in the cabinet led by Jyrki Katainen. In this capacity, she also chaired the meetings of the Nordic Council Ministers of Finance in 2012.

The surge of the eurosceptic True Finns party in the 2011 elections sparked a move from the Social Democrats under Urpilainen to toughen their stance on the euro significantly, leading Finland to become the only country to demand collateral from Greece and Spain as part of their international rescues. On 6 July 2012, Urpilainen said the following on her website: “Finland would prefer to consider leaving the Eurozone rather than to pay other countries’ debts in the currency area.” International news media, such as The Daily Telegraph, misinterpreted the statement as a threat that Finland would leave the eurozone. Urpilainen’s assistant Matti Hirvola later clarified her statements and that she had meant that Finland did not wish to be responsible for paying other countries’ debt deposits. Only one month later, Urpilainen had to revise the government’s growth target for that fiscal year down to zero as exports slowed; the only Eurozone countries that fared worse were Greece and Portugal.

In Lapua, Southern Ostrobothnia, Urpilainen is the daughter of the former politician Kari Urpilainen. She attended in the University of Jyvaskyla, where she earned her master of education in the year 2002. While in her undergraduate studies she completed her Erasmus time in Vienna. She was an educator in schools until the time she was elected to Parliament.
