On a video widely distributed on social networks, we see a Finnish Prime Minister partying, dancing, swaying, enjoying a drunken evening with friends. The video ignited social networks and made the A of the international press, even in India. Between the music and the hubbub, some Finns thought they heard the word “flour”, referring to cocaine. The controversy escalated in the country, and Sanna Marin, the First Minister, was summoned to explain himself.
