Mikael Jungner

Mikael Jungner (born 20 April 1965, in Helsinki), is the former party secretary of the Social Democratic Party of Finland, a member of the Finnish parliament, and a former managing director of the Finnish national broadcaster Yle.

Although he sought another term, the political board of Yle replaced him with Lauri Kivinen, a member of National Coalition Party, on 1 May 2010.

It is commonly understood that Lipponen helped Jungner get the Managing Director's position in Yle.

[2] Jungner's term proved to be a disappointment for the Social Democratic Party, which lost the 2015 elections.

Jungner, who belongs to the right-wing section of the Social Democratic Party of Finland, is a regular writer in Libera's web-pages, a libertarian foundation co-ordinated with Mont Pelerin Society and staffed with members known to finance National Coalition Party.
