Finland's Prime Minister Sanna Marin says demands for her to take a drug test are 'unjust' but she has taken one for her own legal protection.
abc.net.au/news/finnish-pm-defends-dancing-takes-drug-test-to-clear-herself/101353932Finland's Prime Minister Sanna Marin says she took a drug test for her "own legal protection" after a video was leaked of her dancing and lip-syncing to music at a private party.
A video posted on social media on Thursday shows six people, including the 36-year-old Prime Minister, at a party dancing and lip-syncing to a song. Ms Marin, the Nordic country's youngest-ever prime minister, said she did not have any government meetings that weekend and "I had some time off and I spent it with my friends. And I didn't do anything illegal."The video was posted online after Finland on Wednesday decided to limit the number of visas issued to Russians from September 1, amid a rush of Russian tourists bound for Europe.
