Finland’s PM denies taking drugs but refuses to be tested after party video leaked

Finnish PM Sanna Marin is facing increasing backlash and calls for a public drug test after footage emerged of her attending a party at which yelling about cocaine was allegedly heard, according to Politico citing Finnish media. <br> <br>MP Mikko Karna, whose Center Party forms part of Marin’s coalition, is leading calls for her to take a drug test, saying ‘The people are also allowed to expect this from their prime minister.’ <br> <br>In a press conference on Thursday, Marin denied being a drug user, but dismissed calls for her to prove this. She has also hit out at the person who leaked the video, calling the party a ‘private event.’ <br> <br>This is not the first time Marin has faced backlash over ‘irresponsible behavior’ – she came under fire last year for going clubbing despite knowing a close colleague had just tested positive for Covid-19. <br> <br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br>Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative. <br>Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RTnews <br>Follow us on Telegram: t.me/rtnews <br>Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RT_com
