Sanna Marin as Victoria Bond
Posted on February 22, 2023 by Royal Rosamond Press
From the painting The Roses of Heliogabalus
“Victoria came in sideways to get Starfish, she twisting this way, then that, to avoid the gyrating flesh that clung to Agent 008 like kelp in a tidepool. Taking hold of her arm, she was shocked when Starfish turned in anger, and was about to slap her hand away.”
Starfish is dancing with the drum crowd at Wayne Morse Square. Note the date I posted this.
I am saddened by Sanna’s loss. I am going to work to see she becomes a NATO Ambassador for Women’s Causes and Issues. She is my pick to play Victoria Rosemond Bond in my novel ‘The Royal Janitor’. Victoria is a sculptress.

Finland’s outgoing PM Sanna Marin steps down as party leader
Story by Sneha Swaminathan • Yesterday 6:39 am
Sanna Marin, the outgoing prime minister of Finland, said on Wednesday that she would step down as the head of the Social Democratic Party at the upcoming party congress in the fall. She expressed the hope that doing so would allow her “to open a new page in my own life.”

“Now is the time to get in line again and leave the chairman’s place,” Marin, said during a news conference in Helsinki. She said she would continue working as a lawmaker in Parliament.
Marin’s hopes of continuing as prime minister were dashed when the Social Democratic Party finished third in the election on Sunday, as reported by the Associated Press.
In an extraordinarily close three-way fight, Finland’s biggest conservative party emerged victorious, with right-wing populists coming in second.
Marin, who has been in the position of prime minister since 2019, enjoys huge popularity both at home and abroad, but she recognised that it had been difficult for her personally.

“My endurance has been put to the test,” Marin admitted.
She claimed that her Cabinet has had some testing times in recent years and that the centre-left government had been forced to make difficult choices.
Marin has received praise for guiding Finland through the COVID-19 pandemic, supporting the nation’s NATO bid alongside President Sauli Niinistö, and being a steadfast backer of Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, among other things.
“These have been exceptionally difficult years and difficult times,” Marin said, “Now that the election result is like this, I consider that I have the opportunity to open a new page in my own life.”
Thursday will mark the formal resignation of Marin’s cabinet. Next week, Petteri Orpo, the leader of the National Coalition Party, will lead negotiations to create a new government.
