FINLAND'S SANNA MARIN LOSES PM RACE FOLLOWING CONTROVERSIAL PARTYING VIDEO
The world’s youngest prime minister to take office at the age of 34 in 2019 has had a tumultuous few months.
Last month, she lost her bid for re-election in a razor-thin race against her conservative and far-right rivals, which prompted some to question whether her controversial partying videos were behind her and her party’s defeat.
In August, a video surfaced showing the young prime minister dancing in a nightclub with a Finnish pop star known as Olavi Uusivirta.
FINNISH PM MARIN SANNA SAYS SHE TOOK DRUG TEST AS NEW VIDEO OF HER DANCING WITH MAN NOT HER HUSBAND SURFACES
Footage showed the two dancing closely and questions regarding extramarital relations surfaced.
Both the singer and Marin maintained that "nothing inappropriate" occurred, though the Finnish prime minister did voice her frustration of the footage’s release.
"I don’t remember anyone kissing my neck. It seems to me that I was being talked to," she said when asked about a moment in the video when Uusivirta appeared to lean into the prime minister.
"It is true that I am married. These are private matters, and I will not comment on them," she added, according to an Independent report. "But I don’t think anything inappropriate happens in that video."
But the incident brought on a slurry of negative backlash from her critics, who also questioned whether the prime minister was using drugs.
Marin maintained that no drugs were involved despite the phrase "flour gang" reportedly used by someone in the background of the video, which may have been in reference to cocaine, according to some reporting.
The Finnish prime minister condemned calls for her to take a drug test as inappropriate, but she ultimately decided to take a test to prove she had not taken illegal drugs.
