Finnish PM Sanna Marin tests negative for drugs

Finland’s Prime Minister Sanna Marin has passed a drug test after a video surfaced last week showing her partying with friends.
Video showed six people, including Ms Marin, dancing and mimicking a song in front of a camera.
She denied any drug use at the party, but said she was “disappointed” that the videos were made public.

The Finnish prime minister passed a drug test after a video surfaced last week showing her partying with friends.

Sanna Marin, 36, said on Friday that she was taking the drugs test “for her own legal protection” after video of the “wild” party surfaced on social media.

At a press conference in Helsinki, she defended her actions and insisted she had never used illegal drugs.

“I have today taken a drug test and the results will come within a week. Never in my life have I used drugs,” Ms Marin said.

“No narcotics were found in the prime minister’s drug test,” her office said on Monday.

On August 18, the prime minister was filmed playing to the camera and dancing with friends in social media clips.

According to the Finnish website Illtalehti, one of the people in the videos was accused of shouting a euphemism for cocaine.

She denied any drug use at the party, but said she was “disappointed” that the videos were made public.

A video showed six people, including Ms Marin, dancing and mimicking a song in front of a camera.

Later, she is seen on her knees on what appears to be a dance floor, arms behind her head, lip-syncing.

The party is said to have been held in private flats, and several Finnish media personalities were seen in the footage.
