This is not the first time the young Finnish prime minister has faced criticism for partying. In 2021, she faced a huge backlash for going to a nightclub despite coming in contact with the country’s foreign minister, Pekka Haavisto, who had contracted Covid-19.
In 2019, Sanna Marin, who has previously served as Transport Minister of Finland, was sworn in as the country’s prime minister. She was chosen by Finland’s Social Democratic Party to succeed then Prime Minister Antti Rinne. At 34, Marin became the world’s youngest prime minister, demolishing the earlier record set by New Zealand’s PM Jacinda Ardern. As the Finnish prime minister, she has been hailed for her strong stance against Russia’s war on Ukraine and for being at the forefront of Finland’s efforts to join NATO.

But in the past four years, PM Marin has also faced criticism for a variety of reasons. One of the major reasons for criticism is her fondness of partying. Following the nightclub controversy in 2021, Marin posted a lengthy apology on Facebook saying she was “really sorry” for her actions, after her photos of dancing with her friends early in the morning were published in a popular Finnish magazine.
