새로운 NDP 지도자로 게리 도어(Gary Doer) 전 매니토바 주정부의 재무장관을 역임했던 셀린저(Selinger)가 선출되었다고 합니다. 셀린저는 지난 토요일에 위니펙 컨벤션센터(Winnipeg Convention Centre)에서 있는 선거에서 경쟁자 스티브 애시톤(Steve Ashton, 685표 득표)을 누르고 NDP 지도자 선거에서 2,003표중 2/3인 1,317표를 득표하여 선거에서 승리를 했습니다. 이로서 셀린저(Selinger)는 NDP의 새로운 지도자과 됨과 동시에 매니토바주의 새로운 주수상이 되었습니다.
전 매니토바 주수상 게리 도어(Gary Doer)는 선거 무대 한 켠에서 25명의 NDP MLA 의원들과 함께 이 과정을 지켜봤습니다.
새로운 매니토바 주수상 셀린저(Selinger)는 누구?
Selinger, 58, grew up the son of a single mother in the middle-class St. James neighbourhood of Winnipeg. He became a social worker in the city's poverty-stricken North End.
He saw some of the city's poorest get involved with loansharks - something that would prompt him, three decades later, to set strict limits on interest rates for short-term lenders, including payday loan companies.
He earned a PhD at the London School of Economics, and took an interest in how economics are affected by government policies.
In 1979, Selinger founded Winnipeg's Community Economic Development Association, which helps inner-city residents access social programs and start small businesses. He was elected to city council in 1989 and chaired the city's finance committee.
Selinger lost a bid for mayor in 1992, and jumped to provincial politics in 1999, winning the St. Boniface seat and being named finance minister for the new NDP government.
As keeper of the public purse, Selinger rode a middle ground, cutting small business and personal income taxes and boosting spending on hospitals, community colleges and social housing.
The middle-of-the-road approach helped the NDP capture larger majorities in 2003 and 2007.
That approach is unlikely to change with Selinger in the premier's chair. He takes great pains to stress that he wants to continue the work done by Gary Doer, whose popularity with voters never waned.
Selinger and his wife, Claudette Toupin, have two sons.
