Sanna Marinwas the 36-year-old Prime Minister of Finland last week. The German tabloid Bildcalled him "the coolest chancellor in the world" was "caught" at a party.
tabloid In the leaked video, which consists of several since-deleted Instagram clips published by Iltalehti, Marin is seen drinking, singing, dancing, hugging her friends, and having a good time.
I say "caught" because people are a little excited about this. According to Finnish media, in one of her clips someone can be heard yelling "flour gang!" in the background. – Apparently slang for cola and amphetamines. Marin denies anyone yelled this out and says she doesn't know what the term means in any case. I might have added that it's not uncommon for people to shout something. "It went without saying," he said. Finnish Center Party parliamentarian Mikko Karna tweeted that Marin should be drug tested. Rikka Pura of the Finnish Party expressed a similar opinion. Marin was happy to take her exam and she shrugged, but she was a little puzzled as to why she needed that. Of course, Puritans also piled on via her Twitter. “Incompetence,” writes talk show host Alexi Valabuori,. "do not know anything". "Resign".
Now, just a quick look at the leaders of other European nations, whether or not someone is yelling something in the background, does anything worse or more important than partying with friends. Everyone will conclude that there are things like an invasion of another country. That is, Sanna assumes that Marin hasdone somethingwrong.
After all, what is the assumption here? That all your free time should be spent sitting in bed, sipping ronkero and contemplating the misery of the world? please hold
The response is so disproportionate that I can't help but wonder if there is another reason for her critics' ire. Of course, there is political opportunism, which is predictable but inevitable. But maybe they're a little disappointed that they weren't invited to Sanna Marin's party. It looked fun. Maybe they envy her ability to throw her best form.
Frankly, it's refreshing to see politicians behaving like humans. Rishi Sunak claims to enjoy McDonald's breakfast wraps that haven't been on the menu since 1436,but Sanna Marin says how ordinary she is and that it wasn't her intention. It shows, not for the first time, that there is no. PR team.

The current controversyis not much different from the hype when she was photographed in a blazer without a magazine top Trendy. It wasn't right for her office and something she shouldn't have done when the second wave of the pandemic hit Finland.
Really betrays the loss of balance. After all, it's worth noting that Sanna Marin, a mostly-female cabinet minister once derided as the "lipstick cabinet" and "Spice Girls," has made international headlines in her response to the coronavirus pandemic. It's been very well received. She took office three months before the problem occurred, acted quickly, and by April 85% of Finns said they supported her approach.As of the end of April this year.
And of course, she heads the country that won the world's happiest crown for the fifth year in a row in March .
So if Sanna Marin and other politicians want to party, I say this.
