A video of Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin, 36, singing and dancing at a party went viral on social media, causing her to face criticism from opposition parties and even demand that she take a drug test. In this regard, Marin admitted that he participated in a "crazy party", but emphasized that he only engaged in "completely legal" behaviors such as singing, dancing and drinking, and never took any drugs.

Critics argue that Finland, which borders Russia, is facing problems caused by the Ukrainian-Russian war, and that partying is not a prime minister's job; but Marin emphasizes that she is just like everyone, spending her spare time with friends after work , and will continue to be yourself in the future.
