Finnish PM Sanna Marin under fire after party video surfaces

Finland's Sanna Marin has been seen regularly at music festivals, nightclubs since taking office

Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin appeared in a video leaked this week that shows her dancing with friends at a private apartment.
Marin, 36, has been harshly criticized by opposition members of parliament for the leaked videos in which the prime minister parties with rappers, social media influencers and other Finnish celebrities.
She defended her actions in comments to reporters, according to the BBC: "I have a family life, I have a work life and I have free time to spend with my friends. Pretty much the same as many people my age."

My opinion is her critics are probably stodgy curmudgeons who are just jealous that they can't dance like that.

Sure it might be legal. But some would say acting like a whorish drugged up little hootchie momma bumping uglies with strange men isn’t very presidential. I don’t know do think?

Some might but they'd mostly be the stodgy curmudgeons I mentioned in the OP.

Seriously i'm reluctant to criticize a person of her age for letting their hair down a bit in private among their friends.

Of course I don't know much about her. If she's a party girl who slept her way up the ladder like our floozie vice president then I guess you could see it as confirmation of her normal Bimbosity.

How do you say Hootchie Momma in Finnish anyways?

I have to give the nod to AOC in the dancing category.

In principle she did nothing wrong. But: that relates to a private person. As prime minster of a country you are in a position where you never truly are "private" whenever there is a risk that the public is present with one eye and one ear.

In such an exposed representative function, you are not "private". You are taken as an example, you represent, and you have to represent, 24/7 whenever a mike of camera is pointed at you. Country. Values. Ideas. Laws. General positions and orientations of politics. That is a full time function of your life then. Dont like it? Dont become prime minister. Or make sure no camera is near and no mike is open when you are "private".

There is a reason why certain things NEVER would be done by or under the British Queen and the protocols. And why the queen is admired for exactly this quality.

There is no real scandal in this story. But its a question of style. And Marin failed it. Whether she was filmed dancing , or vomitting on the floor, makes no difference, thats not what it is about.

Certain powers in this world will take her - and Finland - less serious from now on. That may be fair or unfair, correct or wrong - but that does not matter.

Thats the part in the movies where the one actor says to the other: "Something like this must not happen!"

This is a non-story and was from the beginning. Media just made up a scandal by calling it a scandal. Even her opponents don't really care with the exception of very few loud ones.

My opinion as well.

Same here there's no case. An attractive woman is having some fun.

A Danish politician is convince the Russian is behind the spreading of this video. The reason should be Finland's being a Nato member and some other thing-Like revoke of Visa.

Yes, that is absolutely possible.

As I said, its not really a politcal scandal - releasing such images is more an issue of style.

So what you’re saying the person doing the filming was a Russian spy? That must be one helluva good spy to get that close to Prime Minister hoochie mama’s inner circle.

I heard from my connection ‘an anonymous top official’ she grabbed a handful of Deeznuts too.

Skybird · 08-20-22, 11:07 AM

99% probability the clips (its twpo now) were shot by a party guest. If Russia is behind this, then most likely not the guest is a Russian agent, but it was the Russian intel service to dig it out from a third (private) person source, organise it somehow, and leak it to the wanted public channel.

Its being done this way since - well , "since ages". The term is "targeted indiscretions".

I will add.
Even though The Russian shouldn't be behind this spread of this video-They are rubbing their hands-It couldn't have happened in a better time.

In the news here they said this video will perhaps change the Finnish foreign politics

Would be hard for a Brit to comment when you take into consideration the clown we have as leader.
