(CNN)Estonia’s President has apologized after the country’s interior minister mocked Finland’s newly elected leader and described her as a “sales girl.”
The leader of Estonia’s populist far-right party EKRE, Mart Helme, questioned the ability of Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin, 34, to run her country on Sunday.
“Now we see how one sales girl has become a Prime Minister and how some other street activists and non-educated people have also joined the cabinet,” Helme said on his party’s radio talk show Sunday, according to Estonian public broadcaster ERR.
