the Prime Minister weakened after a video showing her partying

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

Pushed by the far-right opposition, the 36-year-old Social Democratic Prime Minister has just taken a drug test. The results will be known in a week. This is not Sanna Marin’s first controversy. She had already been criticized for an evening when she was in contact with Covid-19. This video weakens Sanna Marin at a crucial moment, as she leads her country on a new path, distancing herself from Russia and asking to join NATO.
