Finland's Prime Minister, Sanna Marin, said that she is a human being and should have a private life, in response to the controversy surrounding the leaked photo of the party she held at her home.

Holding back her tears, Marin said that she sometimes longs for "fun and pleasure amidst these dark and cloudy clouds of politics."

Government opponents described the 36-year-old's behavior as inappropriate, while many women supported her by posting pictures of themselves dancing.

Marine had apologized for a picture taken of her at the party that was said to be inappropriate, and she said in her apology: "This picture is inappropriate and I apologize for its release from the party.

Because it was not appropriate to capture it.”

After the spread of photos and video recordings of the ceremony, the Prime Minister obtained a negative result when examining drugs in her body, after expressing her willingness to such an examination “to remove suspicions that she had taken drugs,” after the controversy resulting from the image.

"The examination that the Prime Minister underwent on August 19, 2022 did not reveal the presence of any drugs in her body," her office said in a statement.

She described the public's calls for the examination as "unfair", and said: "I consider these accusations very serious."

Marin reached her current position at the age of 34, was the world's youngest elected leader, and her rise through the ranks of the Finnish Social Democratic Party was easy.

She presided over Tampere City Council, the third largest city in the country, at the age of 27.

She won the public's admiration after a 10-hour debate on the establishment of a rapid metro project, and was able to make the project idea a success.

And when former Prime Minister Antti Rinne resigned in 2019 as a result of his poor handling of the postal workers' strike, Marin, who was Minister of Transport and Communications, ran for office and succeeded.

She leads a five-party coalition whose leaders are all women under the age of 40.

Marine was seen on social media as the essential soul for her party because she was attracting the young voters the party needed.

She proved adept at managing the internal relations of Finland's coalition politics, leading its coalition to approve the new budget in April 2021 after tense negotiations.
