This is not the first time that Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin has been criticized for having "too much fun" instead of governing. A video published on a social network in the last few hours shows the governess at a party with other celebrities in the country and has involved her in a new controversy.
Marin has regretted that the video, which was private, was made public, and has had to deny that he took any kind of drug. "I've danced, sung and partyed and done perfectly legal things," she says, according to the Hufvudstadsbladet newspaper.
The prime minister agrees to a drug test if necessary, and has denied that anyone else was using during the party.
After the leak, there are already those who point out that alleged Russian hackers have used it as revenge: Marin has spoken in favor of Finland's entry into NATO and the prohibition of Russian tourism throughout Europe.
The party, as presumed in the video, was attended by MP Ilmari Nurminen, from the Social Democratic Party of Marin, and other celebrities such as Finnish singer Alma and television presenter Tinni Wikstroem.
Marin - who in December 2019 became the youngest prime minister in the history of Finland - has defended that she spends her free time with friends just like other people her age.
"I hope it is accepted. We live in a democracy and in the elections everyone can decide these issues," he says, according to the YLE media.
Critics have pointed out that Finland, which shares a 1,340-kilometre land border with Russia, faces high electricity prices, among other problems stemming from Russia's invasion of Ukraine. For this reason, the prime minister has suffered several reproaches for the video, in which she is seen enjoying herself instead of exercising her responsibilities.
Previously, Marin has also been criticized for attending a popular Finnish rock festival and partying without her work phone, for which she was not informed that she had been in close contact with a person who had tested positive for the virus. COVID-19. She did not test positive.
