the Prime Minister of Finland, Sanna MarinShe denied using this Friday, 19 drugs during a party where she was filmed dancing. She said she underwent a narcotics investigation to “clean her reputation.” “In the last few days, very serious allegations have become public that I have used drugs. For my own legal protection, although I consider the demand for a drug test to be unreasonable to clear up any suspicion, I submitted myself to one today,” said the Prime Minister at a press conference. The results of the exams will be announced within a week. Marin, 36, was caught in controversy after the video was released showing him singing and dancing at a private party. “I’ve never used drugs in my life, not even when I was young. I wish we were in a society where people could take my word for it. But since they want to arouse this suspicion, I took the test. I also have the right to be presumed innocent and I want them not to press those charges,” he said. The video was published by the Iltalehti newspaper last Wednesday. Original fragments were published in a closed Instagram group with less than 100 members, including Marin. “I regret that this material has been released for everyone to see,” said the Prime Minister, visibly upset. In the video, partygoers can be heard singing a song that mentions the word “jauhojengi,” which some would indicate cocaine use.
