The 38-year-old politician will replace outgoing taoiseach Enda Kenny after winning Fine Gael leadership contest
Henry McDonald Ireland correspondent
Saturday 3 June 2017 00.19 BST
The son of an Indian immigrant who came out as gay in 2015 will be the next Irish prime minister, after he was voted leader of the country’s main governing party.

Leo Varadkar’s victory in the Fine Gael leadership contest on Friday, which took place after outgoing PM Enda Kenny announced his resignation last month, marks another significant step forward for equality in the country, after 2015’s gay marriage referendum.

As well as becoming Ireland’s first gay prime minister, Varadkar, 38, will also become the country’s youngest leader, and the first from an ethnic minority background. His position will be confirmed later this month when parliament resumes after a break.

Varadkar faced a stiffer-than-expected challenge in the centre-right Fine Gael election from his rival, Simon Coveney. The Cork-born Irish housing minister is popular with the party’s grassroots, particularly in Fine Gael’s more conservative, rural redoubts.

Speaking after the final votes were tallied in Dublin, Varadkar said he was delighted, humbled and honoured to win. Coveney joked that at least his children would be pleased that he had lost.

Kenny said Varadkar had his full support. “This is a tremendous honour for him and I know he will devote his life to improving the lives of people across our country,” he said. “I want to also thank and pay tribute to Simon Coveney for making the leadership election a real contest. This has been a wonderful exercise in democracy for the Fine Gael party.”

Kenny, who led the party for 15 years and has been at the head of two governments for more than six years, delayed his resignation on a number of occasions this year.

First he asked colleagues for time to visit the US for the annual St Patrick’s day celebrations and to meet US president Donald Trump, continuing the unique tradition Ireland has of access to the White House every 17 March. He stayed on to attend the European council summit in Brussels at the end of April, where the priorities for the Brexit negotiations were agreed.

Under internal Fine Gael rules, the parliamentary party constitutes 65% of the vote, party members 25%, and city and country councillors 10%.

Coveney captured majority support among grassroots members, but Varadkar won over the crucial parliamentarian college.

Varadkar’s father Ashok, who comes from Mumbai, met his Irish mother Miriam while they both worked at an English hospital in Slough in the 1960s.

While the international media gathered in Dublin have focused on Varadkar’s sexuality and immigrant family background, Ireland’s news organisations zeroed in on his economic policies.

Some commentators dubbed Varadkar “the Thatcherite” candidate after his comments during the two-week leadership contest that he wanted to be the champion “of those who get up early in the morning”.

Although Varadkar’s centre-right politics are clearly conservative, he portrays the image of a new, progressive Ireland, symbolised best in May 2015 when the Republic voted overwhelmingly in favour of gay marriage. It came just a few months after Varadkar came out publicly in a radio interview.

LGBT groups in Ireland welcomed the domestic focus on Varadkar’s ideology. “I think it’s really significant that both his party and the media in Ireland focused on his policies, rather than him simply being a gay man who wants to lead the country,” said Brian Finnegan, the editor of Gay Community News in Dublin.

“It is a sign of how much Ireland has changed and moved on that no one really cares if he is gay here. Irish politicians were among the last sectors of our society to come out of the closet but now at least we’ve got one gay man and a lesbian, Catherine Zappone, both in the cabinet. That would have been unthinkable perhaps even 10 years ago.”

Varadkar, a doctor educated at Trinity College Dublin,entered Irish politics in 2004,when he polled almost 5,000 votes in a local government election in Dublin West Constituency. 3yrs later,he was elected to represent area in parliament.
In 2014,he became Ireland's minister for health and after Fine Gael suffered losses in last years general election, he entered a minority coalition as minister for social protection.
In the 2015 interview with RTF radio when he came out, Vradkar said : "It is not something that defines me.I'm not a half indian politician,or a doctor politician, or gay politician, for that matter. It's just part of who i am.It doesn't define me.It is part of my character, i suppose."

Stale story but always touchy and with great lessons.
The big step was taken by Albert but the greater step was taken by Ronaldo who despite the huge success never forgot his friend.

Yeah you are right bro.Ronaldo took the greater step.The very first time he mentioned Albert fantrau's name was when he dedicated one of his award to him...after the ceremony, journalists approached ronaldo and asked "Who is albert fantrau and who is he to you?"... Bro,naso the story start ooo

Cristiano Ronaldo has given his old friend and former football teammate, Albert Fantrau a special recognition publicly after recounting how he sacrificed his own football career so that he(Ronaldo) could become a global football icon today.

The ultimate sacrifice made by one man named Albert Fantrau sealed his fate for the rest of his life and guaranteed him a meal ticket. The man happens to be an old friend of Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

Moments after Real Madrid Football Club won their 10th UEFA Champions League trophy in 2014, the global audience and thousands of football fans at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon were taken by surprise when Cristiano Ronaldo abandoned the team's celebration and ran to a section of the stand to pull out a man from the crowd and hug him affectionately.

The action was a public confession by Ronaldo to honour his childhood clubmate who 'sacrificed himself’ and allowed the Portuguese star to become a global icon today. Ronaldo said in an interview he granted some years ago that he and his friend were vying for a spot in an academy of Andorinha in Funchal, Madeira.



“I have to thank my old friend Albert Fantrau for my success. We played together for the same team in the U-18 championship. When a scout came to see us he said that, Whoever scores more goals will come into our academy.”

"We won that match 3-0. I scored the first goal then Albert scored the second with a great header. But the third goal was impressive for all of us. Albert was one-on-one against the goalkeeper, he rounded the goalkeeper and I was running in front of him.

“All he had to do was to score that goal but he passed it to me and I scored the third goal, so I got that spot and went to the academy.

“After the match I went to him and asked him why? Albert said that “Because you (Ronaldo) are better than me.”

Journalists then went to Albert’s house and asked him if it was a true story. He said yes. He also said that his career as a player after the match ended and
now is unemployed. “But how did you build this house so great, you have a car? You seem like a rich man. You are unemployed,yet you own a mansion,drive expensive cars. From where
did all these come from? ‘

Albert more proudly replied: “It is from Ronaldo!”The house,the cars e.t.c are gifts from Cristiano Ronaldo

This explains why Ronaldo had to single him out of the crowd to share in his celebration.

Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar was one of the world’s most powerful criminals. Dubbed the ‘King of Cocaine’ in the 1980’s, his ill-gotten gains led to a personal fortune estimated at $3 billion, in 1989. Ruthless Escobar let nothing, and no-one, stand in his way. Eventually, the criminal mastermind would learn the law always catches up with you...


Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria was born 1 December, 1949, in Rionegro, Colombia. From humble beginnings, he had a farmer father and his mother was an elementary schoolteacher. As a kid, ambitious Escobar declared he wanted to become president of Colombia.

Yet, as a teen on the streets of Medellin, the second largest city in Colombia, Escobar became a petty thief. He stole gravestones before sanding them down for resale to smugglers. His crimes escalated to smuggling cigarettes and, by the early 70s, together with other criminals, he formed the Medellin Cartel. Escobar oversaw the trafficking of cocaine on a large scale. Using private planes, the drugs were flown to the USA. Demand for cocaine was high, and profits soared to astronomical proportions. It’s said Escobar’s Medellin Cartel controlled 80 per cent of all the cocaine shipped to the US market in the 70’s and 80’s.

More than 15 tons of cocaine were reportedly smuggled every day, with the Cartel making as much as $420 million a week.

‘Money or Lead’
If the authorities got in his way, he dealt with them in what he called ‘plata o plomo’. This translates as ‘money or lead’. In other words, if they couldn’t be bribed, he’d order them killed.

Escobar built a personal empire of 400 luxury villas around the world, private planes, his own army and a private zoo with exotic animals.

According to Forbes, he was the 7th richest person in the world in 1989 with a personal fortune of $3 billion.

In 1976, Escobar married Maria Victoria Henao. The couple had two children together.

‘Modern-day Robin Hood’?
Adept at creating his own good PR, Pablo once stated: ‘I am not a rich man, I am a poor man with money.’

The murderous drug lord earned popularity by sponsoring charity projects and soccer clubs in Colombia. He won the admiration of many Colombians, who saw him as a ‘modern day Robin Hood’ figure, who spent money on social programs for the poor.

In 1982, Escobar was elected as an alternate member of Colombia’s Congress. But, two years after his election, he was forced to resign as details of Escobar’s true line of work were revealed. The justice minister who’d disclosed Escobar’s notorious background was later killed. Escobar’s terror campaign resulted in the death of thousands, including politicians, police officers, civil servants, journalists and ordinary citizens. Eventually, public opinion turned against him and, with his empire crumbling, Escobar’s powerful grip on Colombia was slipping.

On The Run
In June 1991, Escobar agreed to surrender to the Colombian government. In return, Escobar was allowed to build his own luxury prison called “La Catedral,” which was guarded by his own cherry-picked employees. The prison had a casino, spa and nightclub.

In June 1992, however, when authorities attempted to move him to a standard holding facility, Escobar escaped. The resulting 16-month manhunt concluded on 2 December 1993, the day after Escobar’s 44th birthday.

As Escobar tried escaping across a series of rooftops, he and his bodyguard were shot dead.
