“In my opinion, the photo is not appropriate. I apologize for it. Such photos should not have been taken,” she told reporters, among other things, confirming that the photo was from her residence.
Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin apologized today for a photo from a private party she held at her official residence in July, following the uproar over her party last week.
Yesterday, Monday, the prime minister, one of the youngest leaders in the world, tested negative for drugs. She did so to allay concerns following the release last week of video footage showing her singing and dancing with Finnish celebrities at another party.
This week, another photo began circulating on social media, showing two well-known female influencers kissing, covering their bare breasts with the words “Finland” (“Finland”) from the prime minister’s official residence in Helsinki.
“In my opinion, the photo is not appropriate. I apologize for it. Such photos should not have been taken, but otherwise nothing excessive happened at the gathering,” Marin told reporters, confirming that the photo it was from her residence.
Marin, 36, who has made no secret of enjoying her free time, said the photo was taken during a private party with friends after a music festival in July.
“We had a sauna, we swam and we spent time together,” she said, talking about the party at her residence.
Finns have been divided over the prime minister’s behaviour, with some expressing support for the young prime minister who combines a private life with her high-profile career, while others raised questions about whether her judgment could be influenced by activities in during her free time.
Marin, who leads the Social Democratic Party and became the world’s youngest head of government in December 2019, agreed on Friday to undergo a drug test, saying she had never taken drugs and had not seen anyone do so at the party she attended.
Marin told Reuters in January that she and her young fellow ministers have been targeted with excessive hate speech because of their gender and appearance.
