She said the recordings were private and recorded in a private residence a few weeks ago. It is not the first time that Marin has faced backlash for partying: in December of last year, she issued a public apology after various local media reported that she had gone clubbing after her minister of foreign affairs, environmentalist Pekka Haavisto, tested positive for Covid-19. “This is the Prime Minister of Finland Sanna Marin. Marin’s appearance at the festival sent a clear message to the public: she was not an ordinary prime minister, and she was not going to wear a suit on her day off. Sanna Marin isn’t looking to win over the old guard, but rather to connect with young voters. Partying – even in a boisterous way – dancing and singing,” she said. A few weeks later, she attended Helsinki’s Flow Festival, one of the country’s biggest music events. Marin was 34 years old when she took office, making her the youngest Finnish prime minister in history and the second-youngest leader in the world. She appears in photos with prime ministers and presidents of other countries, as well as hanging out with friends. During the summer, Marin – who was raised by two women – also took part in the Helsinki Pride parade. The woman in the image was not a social media influencer or celebrity, but rather Sanna Marin, the prime minister of Finland. A black and white photograph of a woman at a rock music festival, dressed in a leather jacket, short jeans and ankle boots recently caused a furor on the internet.
