Game over, we have a new-old president

I like this article by The New York Times.
President Sauli Niinisto of Finland was elected to a second six-year term on Sunday, avoiding a second-round runoff by capturing 63 percent of the vote. Fine!
The far-right candidate, Laura Huhtasaari, a creationist populist inspired by President Trump, also declared victory, despite securing just over 6 percent of the vote.
“We’ve won already,” this True Finns said on live television before many of the votes had been counted. We are going to be the new normal, she said of her party, the True Finns Party.

But the closest competition for President Niinisto came from Pekka Haavisto, a gay, left-wing Green who reached a second round against Mr. Niinisto in 2012 — a campaign that enchanted liberal-minded celebrities and electrified younger voters, especially in Helsinki.

This time, Mr. Pekka Haavisto’s aura had partly vanished, as had a number of the celebrity campaigners. Some political observers suggested that Mr. Haavisto was running with an eye on the 2024 election, reluctant to challenge Mr. Niinisto head on because of the incumbent’s popularity after a largely error-free first term.

Maybe he does not never back to his glory days..
This is the true, Finns also no longer considered a gay candidate a novelty, after significant legal changes in favor of gay rights over the last few years.
