“Actually, there wasn't that. It was more journalists and the media that made this spectacle or frenzy,” Marin insisted. “The people were very supportive. They would stop me in the streets and say that we are supporting you, keep on dancing. It was maybe only a spectacle because it was interesting from the media perspective.”

Marin furthermore stressed that politicians are also “human beings” and called herself “quite a young person” at 37.

“I want to act like my age. I meet my friends, I go dancing, I go out if I have a free time, even though I don't have that much free time,” she said.

Earlier this year, Marin was filmed dancing in Finnish nightclubs in a suggestive manner, which earned her the cognomens “Party PM” and “Party Sanna.” Among others, she was pictured dancing intimately with Finnish social media influencer Sabina Sarkka, with arms draped around each other, as well as Finnish singer Olavi Uusivirta, who subsequently denied having an affair with the prime minister.In yet another video, Marin’s friends were heard shouting that many interpreted as “flour gang,” with “flour” being the slang name for cocaine in Finland. The accusations forced Marin to formally deny taking drugs and even take a drug test to prove her innocence. It later came back as negative.In November, Marin was ultimately cleared of misconduct following a protracted official inquiry that lasted several months.However, Marin had to apologize for “inappropriate” photos and videos taken by her friends at her official residence. One of them showed two women kissing, with their shirts pulled up and their bellies open. A sign with the text “Finland” hides one of the women’s breasts, with the Finnish government’s official blue background screen clearly visible in the background.Previously, the Finnish prime minister was caught partying during a surge in coronavirus infections, when the rest of the country was told to stay home and “flatten the curve.”
