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 about a week. “I’ve never taken drugs in my life,” Marin told journalists on Friday. “I really wish people wouldn’t say these things without evidence.”
A video was released on Thursday showing the head of government celebrating, dancing and singing with friends. Some Finnish journalists claim to have heard statements about drugs 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 about the Prime Minister’s public appearance. It is also about the question of whether the Prime Minister was represented during the party and if not, whether this would have been necessary.
