Suna Marine: Finnish Prime Minister Faces Heavy Criticism After Leaked Video

The Prime Minister of Finland is facing severe criticism after a video was leaked.

In this video, he can be seen dancing and singing along with some famous Finnish personalities.

He is also facing criticism from the opposition parties and one leader has demanded that he be drug tested.

Sana Marin, 36, has denied that she was under the influence of drugs, saying she had only been drinking and partying.

Who are the Sana Marines?

When Sana Marin was elected as the Prime Minister of the country, she was the youngest person in the world to hold this position. She never keeps her private parties a secret and is often spotted at music events.

Last year, she apologized for going to the club when she came in contact with a person there who had Corona.

Last week, the German newspaper "Bild" gave him the title of "The Coolest Prime Minister in the World".

Speaking about the video on Thursday, she said that she knew the video was being made but regretted that it was leaked to the public.

He said, 'I danced, sang and partied, these are all legal things. I have never been in a situation where I saw others using drugs

Leader of the opposition party Rikka Pura says that there is a "shadow of doubt" over the Prime Minister and that he should undergo a drug test himself.

Politicians from other opposition parties have criticized both the prime minister and the media for talking about the party, saying there are more pressing local issues.

The Prime Minister told reporters that I have a family life, a work life and I spend my free time with friends. Just like many people my age do.

He added that he did not think he needed to change his attitude. "I will continue to be who I am today and hope it will be accepted."

In Finland, the video has been widely viewed as a matter of public interest.

Sana Marin has been in government since December 2019 and has the support of his party.

Local media commentator Robert Sandman told the  that "no matter what the Marines do, there's always the same divisive attitude."

"There are some people who are saying that it is normal for a woman of her age to have fun with friends and on the other hand there are people who are shocked."

"But one thing is certain so far that party pictures have not made any significant difference to his or his party's popularity," he says.

According to him, people have a special view on the friendship of the current Prime Minister with well-known personalities, while this was not the case with the Prime Ministers of the past.

Marin is the world's youngest prime minister and has been a regular at music festivals and nightclubs since taking office.

Supporters boast that Marin's frequent partying with celebrities conveys a sense of youth and coolness in the office, while detractors claim that the lack of public exposure and professionalism is offensive to the world leader.

This is not the young prime minister's first scandal involving his public behaviour.

During the pandemic, Marin faced intense scrutiny after it was revealed that she had gone to a dance club after being exposed to someone with COVID-19.

That Saturday night, his secretary of state called him with the news that Foreign Minister Pekka Hausto had tested positive for COVID-19. The Prime Minister proceeded to leave his official phone at home when he arrived in town.

Marin was with her husband, went out to dinner, saw friends and "also spent time in the evening and nightlife."

It wasn't until the next day that Marin realized she had received additional instructions on her work phone to avoid contact with other people and get tested for COVID-19.

"I should have thought better on Saturday night," Marin wrote on Facebook at the time. "I'm so sorry.
