After criticism in connection with a private party, Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin said she carried out a drug test. The result is expected in regarding a week. “I’ve never done drugs in my life,” Marin told the press today. “I really wish people wouldn’t say these things without evidence.”
A video was released yesterday showing the head of government celebrating, dancing and singing with friends. It is disputed whether statements regarding drugs were made in the video.
Marin said she drank alcohol that night but was unaware that drugs were being used. “I haven’t done anything illegal,” she said. The video has sparked a debate in Finland regarding the Prime Minister’s public appearance. It is also regarding the question of whether the Prime Minister was represented during the party and if not, whether that would have been necessary.
