Sanna Marin, the prime minister of Finland, said she resents the fact that leaked footage of her partying in a “private space” was made public. She added that the footage was filmed in a private space.
Social media users widely contested that the word “jallujengi” was meant as a reference to the Finnish alcoholic drink, Jaloviina. However, the prime minister faced calls for her to submit to a drug test and said she would be willing to do so.
Ms. Marin, who became Finland’s youngest ever prime minister in December 2019, says she has a family life, a work life and free time to spend with friends.
The chair of Ms Marin’s Social Democratic Party said that she had the trust of her party. Still, critics have pointed out that Finland faces numerous challenges, including high electricity prices and geopolitical turbulence.
