Finland's Sanna Marin fights for her right to party: Married leader, 36, says 'nothing inappropriate' happens in leaked video of her Dancing Intimately With Pop Star at 4 AM but submits to a drug test as she defends wild night out
Finland's 'party Prime Minister' Sanna Marin has blasted her critics and insisted she has the same right to a night out as everyone else after she was
captured on video having a raucous evening with friends earlier this month.
Ms Marin today insisted that 'everyone needs a fun and relaxed evening out' and that she should be allowed to let her hair down after spending most of her time juggling the responsibilities of governing and being a mother.
The 36-year-old, who is married, added that 'nothing inappropriate' happens in a newly-leaked video that shows her dancing hip-to-hip with male pop singer Olavi Uusivirta in Helsinki's Klubi nightclub at 4am, and said her only regret is that 'private' videos had made it into the public domain.
Ms Marin said she has also submitted to a drugs test to prove her innocence after more footage taken earlier in the evening and which leaked yesterday showed her dancing with friends in a house while someone in the background shouts 'flour gang'.
'Flour' is Finnish slang often used to refer to cocaine. Ms Marin said she has never taken drugs in her life, and did not see anyone taking them on the night out in question which stretched from the evening of Saturday August 6 until the very early hours of Sunday 7.
Ms Marin, who is married and has a four-year-old daughter, was said to have danced with three different men and then sat in the laps of two male companions, according to witnesses
