The storm launched in Finland by the leaked video of the young Prime Minister of the country, Sana Marin, did not subside yesterday, as she danced during a private party with a group of her friends, in a manner described as scandalous.
While the 36-year-old Sana defended her behavior, stressing that the video was private and should not have been published, according to what CNN reported.
Anger over leaked footage
In her first comment on the leak, the prime minister acknowledged the celebration “in a noisy way”, but was outraged by the leaking of the footage, which drew sharp criticism from her political opponents.
“These videos are private and were filmed in a private place. I am very upset that they were published and shown in this way to the public,” she told reporters in Kuopio, Finland, yesterday.
She also expressed her reluctance to undergo a drug test, stressing that she had not used any of the contraband.
The video, which sparked controversy in the country, “showed Marine dancing with five others in front of the camera, and performing some movements that were described as pornographic.”

Other clips also showed the Finnish official lying on the floor singing.
This has led some of her opponents to criticize her behavior as inappropriate for a prime minister. Miku Karna, the opposition MP, tweeted, calling for her to be tested for drugs.
