The prime minister of Finland has said she resents the fact leaked footage of her partying in a “private space” was made public.

[Miss Universe to allow married women, mothers! The critics say it’s not fitting for a PM," Visegrád 24 reported. As a result, she was not informed of her exposure to Covid and continued to enjoy the evening. It was about me having a night out with friends. Marin clarified that the videos were private and were filmed in a private residence a few weeks ago, reported Finland's news broadcaster Yle. Finland Prime Minister Sanna Marin is making headlines after a video of her partying with various Finnish celebrities and public figures was leaked on social media today.

A video has surfaced of the tipsy PM dancing at a friend's apartment, prompting allegations that she is “unprofessional”. Marin is unquestionably not the first ...

Whether or not it’s healthy to have a delineation between your work self and your home self is a big and complicated question. As long as you’re turning up clean and sober and doing a decent job, does where you woke up or who you woke up with really have any bearing on how good or bad you are at your job? And as our lives have become more saturated by our work – accelerated by emails on our phones and work Whatsapp groups – the line becomes smaller and smaller. A video has surfaced of the tipsy PM dancing at a friend’s apartment, prompting allegations that she is “unprofessional”. Marin is a young woman doing a job usually held by an old man, therefore the natural expectation would be to age herself up. Around the time that Facebook came along, my friends and I were herded into a special assembly at school.

So Sanna Marin, the 36-year-old Finnish PM who just last week was dubbed “the coolest prime minister in the world” by the German tabloid Bild, ...

As of the end of April this year, [her government had the five strongest approval ratings since the party barometer, a biannual survey, was launched in Finland in 1991](https://yle.fi/news/3-12424479). It was described as unbecoming of her office, and something she ought not to have done as the second wave of the pandemic rolled over [Finland](/topic/finland). Just for God’s sake, don’t do it during a lockdown. She took office three months before it hit, acted quickly, and by April, There is the political opportunism, of course, which is predictable but unavoidable. That she should spend all her free time sat in bed, sipping lonkero and contemplating the miseries of the world? (Invading another country, for instance.) And that is to assume that Sanna Marin did anything wrong. Maybe they envy her ability to throw shapes with the best of them. The reaction seems so over the top that you cannot help but wonder if there is not some other motive for her critics’ anger. “Incompetent,” [wrote the talk show host Aleksi Valavuori](https://twitter.com/Valavuori/status/1559971125068693508). Marin denies that someone shouted this and says that, in any case, she does not know what the term means. “Resign”.

According to a survey by YouGov America, Kennedy is the most popular American President after Abraham Lincoln, with 35% of Americans having a “very favourable” opinion on him and 38% falling in the “somewhat favourable” category. Szájer eventually admitted to being one of the party’s attendees and the aftermath was bizarre to say the least. The video was a behind-the-scenes bit recorded by the crew of the entertainment TV news program Access Hollywood as Trump was on his way to film an episode. The youngest American to be elected President assumed office in his 40s, and indulged in sexual escapades with many other social figures as well as White House interns (some being as young as 19). Much like his political party’s agenda, he had been explicitly hostile to LGBTQIA+ rights but in a twist of irony, his downfall was triggered by his presence in a gay orgy! When the video resurfaced, Bush lost his job as a host on NBC’s Today show but it did little harm to Trump’s campaign who of course, went to the Oval Office later. Given the intense efforts of the White House security staff to keep Kennedy’s affairs secret, most of this information was revealed in the years following his death. Flouting Covid regulations and using illegal drugs, he was detailed by the Belgian Police in the middle of what was described as a ‘gay sex party’ in Brussels. But the current row is over a normal video of her just partying at a club. Most of his voter-base were ultimately not that bothered by the photo.

At the start of the clip, Marin throws her hands in the air to the Black Eyed Peas’ hit as the man puts his hands on her hips.

Finnish PM says she was never in a condition in which she couldn't 'lead the country.'

I hope that we can be people,” she added. Marin brushed off questions about whether she was in an appropriate condition, given the tensions between Helsinki and Moscow, in which to “lead the country” while she was at the party. Asked whether she’d been in a location where people were using drugs, Marin said, “Of course, I can’t know if someone has used something that I haven’t seen myself.

At Friday's news conference, a reporter claimed he seemed to kiss the prime minister on the neck - but she denied that, and said he was talking to her, and possibly kissed her cheek. In the footage - thought to be taken from social media - she and Finnish celebrities are seen dancing and singing at a house party. Ms Marin said she knew she was being filmed, but said she was upset that the footage had become public. "I don't remember a single time that there was a sudden situation in the middle of the night to go to the State Council Palace," she insisted.

I resent that these became known to the public," Marin said.

Marin has the support of her party, with Antti Lindtman, head of the Social Democratic Party's parliamentary group, telling media he "can't see any major problem with dancing at a private event with friends". She admitted to having drunk alcohol. The leaked video, which shows Sanna Marin dancing and partying with a group of friends and celebrities, has been shared widely on social media and local media.

One of the world's youngest government leaders faced calls from her own coalition, opposition to take a drug test.

She admitted to having drunk alcohol. “I consider these accusations to be very serious and, though I consider the demand for a drug test unjust, for my own legal protection and to clear up any doubts, I have taken a drug test today, the results of which will come in about a week.” Sanna Marin, 36, also said her ability to perform her official duties had remained unimpaired on the Saturday night in question and that she would have left the party had she been required to work.

She said the recordings were private and recorded in a private residence a few weeks ago. It is not the first time that Marin has faced backlash for partying: in December of last year, she issued a public apology after various local media reported that she had gone clubbing after her minister of foreign affairs, environmentalist Pekka Haavisto, tested positive for Covid-19. “This is the Prime Minister of Finland Sanna Marin. Marin’s appearance at the festival sent a clear message to the public: she was not an ordinary prime minister, and she was not going to wear a suit on her day off. Sanna Marin isn’t looking to win over the old guard, but rather to connect with young voters. Partying – even in a boisterous way – dancing and singing,” she said. A few weeks later, she attended Helsinki’s Flow Festival, one of the country’s biggest music events. Marin was 34 years old when she took office, making her the youngest Finnish prime minister in history and the second-youngest leader in the world. She appears in photos with prime ministers and presidents of other countries, as well as hanging out with friends. During the summer, Marin – who was raised by two women – also took part in the Helsinki Pride parade. The woman in the image was not a social media influencer or celebrity, but rather Sanna Marin, the prime minister of Finland. A black and white photograph of a woman at a rock music festival, dressed in a leather jacket, short jeans and ankle boots recently caused a furor on the internet.
