Former Prime Minister Anneli Jäätteenmäki (center) said in December in an interview with Eeva magazine that she had a second time with breast cancer.
Iltalehti met MLL UP! at the Fashion Show on Thursday, May 15th. Jäätteenmäki has healed cancer.
– Now good and I’m fine. The hair has grown and the forces have strengthened, says Jäätteenmäki in good spirits.
– Hopefully the cancer has been won now, he continues.
Jäätteenmäki admits that representing a fashion show is a bit of a strange situation, but very nice after a long and dark winter.
“It’s nice to meet former colleagues, MPs and other people I haven’t met for a long time,” he describes.
Regional policy and exercise
Jäätteenmäki turned 70 in February. He says that no round birthdays were celebrated at all.
– I’m glad I’ve got more years. If I would have received, I would be under the lawn.
Jäätteenmäki is currently affecting the municipal politics of Lapua. At least for the time being, he will chair the Lapua City Council. Jäätteenmäki was also vice chairman of the regional government of the Southern Ostrobothnia welfare region, but now he is excluded from regional policy.
– I’m a pensioner, but I still have different positions of trust. I am chairman of the Finnish Swedish Cultural Foundation.

Jäätteenmäki was on Wednesday, May 14th in Stockholm on a tour.
– On behalf of the fund, I was able to hand over the medal of Sauli Niinistö for work for the Swedish cooperation.
In his spare time, Jäätteenmäki is active in exercise in many different forms.
– We run and exercise a lot with our family. I walk and slowly run over five kilometers at a time. It becomes an entry, but not less than five kilometers of loops. I mark every loop on the calendar and I’ve been keeping a book for many decades! In addition, I go to the gym.
– I hope that now with the regional government, there will be more time on the calendar and I have time to do something nice, Jäätteenmäki concludes.
