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!"
