Finland Prime Minister Sanna Marin can be seen singing and dancing with pals at a private party in a video that was released. The 36-year-old leader strikes a beautiful pose. She is seated with her hands behind her head and legs. She is caught up in a bear embrace.
She’s enjoying herself. Young and older partygoers from Finland and throughout the world post countless films like this on social media every day. However, the leak has sparked a discussion among Finns about the proper amount of celebration for a prime minister.
Particularly in light of the war on Ukraine by our neighbour, Russia, which forced Finland and Sweden to renounce their longtime neutrality and request for NATO membership.
The Social Democratic Party’s leader, Marin, has been subjected to a storm of inquiries: Drugs were present? Alcohol? Was she on summer vacation or at work? Was the prime minister competent to handle a crisis if it arose?
This week, Finnish media became aware of the film, which was obviously recorded at the party and shared on social media. Marin claimed to have been at the party recently, but she would not specify where or when.
She also admitted that she and her pals had a “boisterous” celebration and that wine had been consumed, but to her knowledge no drugs. She said on Friday that she had a drug test to put a stop to rumours regarding illicit drugs.
The married prime minister, who has a 4-year-old daughter, has frequently claimed that despite leading Finland’s government, she is just like any other person her age who enjoys spending time with friends and family in their own time.
Mintuu Kylliainen, a student in Helsinki, was in disagreement.Partying is common, as Kylliainen put it. She ought to enjoy herself in life as well. Some of the prime minister’s supporters claim the criticism is sexist.
At age 34, Marin was elected as Finland’s youngest prime minister in 2019. Even in the gender-neutral Nordic nation, Marin thought her age and gender were often given too much weight.
