“These videos are private and have been filmed in a private space. I am outraged that they have become public knowledge,” Marin told reporters in Kuopio, Finland. “I spent a night with my friends. We just partied, also in a noisy way. I danced and sang,” he said. The video shows Marin and five others posing for a camera and dancing. Another clip appears to show Marin on the floor, singing to the camera. It had prompted some of Marin’s opponents to criticize her behavior as unfit for prime minister. Miko Karna, an opposition MP, tweeted that Marin should be drug tested. Marin told reporters that alcohol was consumed, but she was not aware of any drug use during the party. Meanwhile, her supporters defended her and accused critics of double standards. “Why can’t he party after work? Do we expect our leaders to not be human?” tweeted Ashok Swain, professor of peace and conflict research at Sweden’s Uppsala University. Marin denied that the leak of the videos was part of an extortion scheme. “I’m not being blackmailed. These are private videos and shouldn’t have been public,” the prime minister said, adding that “filming is taking place this summer in a private house as well. I’m not saying whose house it is.” It is not the first time that Marin’s private life has been politicized in Finland. She previously apologized to the public in 2021 after a photo of her in a nightclub surfaced after Finland’s foreign minister tested positive for Covid-19. “I was wrong. I should have looked into the situation more carefully,” Marin said in a televised interview with public broadcaster Yle at the time. But he also said that he is a person, a person, a real person as well, even though I am the prime minister. So I won’t change the way I behave. Of course, I have to be careful what I say because it can be represented as the whole government, but I’m still human and I will be in the future.”
