Finland's 'partying PM' apologizes for controversial photo

Those with no life to speak of, criticising someone with a life…the irony. Rather have a human at the top rather than a bureaucrat.

This is really a combination of Russo-phants and woman-haters who:

Don’t like Finland joining NATO.

Don’t like women being in charge.

ESPECIALLY don’t like beautiful young women having fun in their off hours.

She shouldn’t apologize. She should tell them to pound sand.

When she’s paid off a porn star (of either gender) for a romp while her husband was home with their newborn child, then we can talk. Until then, curdled men - especially non-Fins would do well to mind their own business.

I don't like her because she's a WEF hack, but this is a non-event.

What is that, anyone?

Finland has the fourth-lowest poverty rate in OCED countries and a Gini coefficient of . 27, which is lower than the United States.

You can't even enjoy your life now without everyone passing judgement on you. It's really no wonder why decent people avoid getting involved in politics.

She is young, female and enjoys her free time. Can't have that now can we. I think what she was doing was on her own time and she was enjoying herself. The only thing I might question is her choice of friends. The video should not have been shown outside her circle of friends.

Wow, what's wrong with having fun after work!??

I don't like her because she's a WEF hack, but this is a non-event.

Exactly.

Seems the US leader of a delegation to the WEF was....the Republican House leader.

Neo-liberalism is on both sides of the democratic false political dichotomy.

At least Main and the Social democrats do a better job of keeping poverty low and having a working social safety net.

We should talk more of the financial scandalous dealings of the elite as seen in the Pandora Papers.

if it wasnt a socialist, liberals would be all over this as inappropriate behavior of a world leader

Projecting.

Not everyone is fogged up with partisanship. This is a very good thing.

Honestly, this is no big deal.

However the amusing point here is that those defending her would be tearing her apart if she were a conservative instead of a progressive.

Just not true.

She shouldn't have apologized. She didn't do anything illegal, nor did she witness anything illegal.

You gotta fight,

for your right,

to P-A-R-T-Y!

Beastie Boys

Because that’s what I think these videos and photos are - publicity stunts deliberately leaked by her own team.

So just another conspiracy theory then.

She has zero to apologise for.

She really shouldn’t have apologised. The message should have been simple - it was a private party - get a life.

I guess if you are the leader of a nation you must sit primly, white-gloved hands folded just so in their lap, watching opera or ballet to be considered "reliable" or "serious" and only drink water from a clear glass with pinky finger extended. Right?

What? A secret nightclub? With a secret photographer taking secret photographs? You need to take a deep breath, buddy.

no in a private setting where it would have never been seen, was never meant to be seen, absent her idiot friends posting it on social media.

In other words, not to be shared with anyone what was going on = secret.

Not your buddy, by the way.

WTF !

Here we have a real Person, who's leading a Country, and they are behaving like, a Real Normal Person, and are now being Criticized for doing so ???

Look at yourselves first before criticizing others.

This isn't a Woman thing, look at the UK's Michael Grove ... so what, I say, they both have a "Human" side to themselves which we can relate to.

Good that this minor incident didn't Finnish her career.

I don't like her because she's a WEF hack, but this is a non-event.

Exactly.

That's rich coming from the followers of a man who publicly boasted about assaulting women.

Not a surprise these misogynists are threatened by a strong woman!!!

What if there was an emergency in thier nation? 

LOL

What Like a Russian invasion? Alien invasion? Well, the spaceship kind anyway. This is Finland for gods sake. Maybe she should put a T-shirt on and lift weights for 5 minutes before turning on the video recorder, like that other so called leader.

All is forgiven.

never pay blackmail, just own it, baby!

I'm not from Finland. I don't know the ins and outs or their politics.

Perhaps the problem is that this was all done at the official residence. I imagine the tax payers pay all the bills. The partying and pictures would be inappropriate in that case.

If done at her private residence then no problem.

There had been liberal wailing and gnashing of teeth over much, much less in the past.

total non event here, just like the others that were made a big deal were also manufactured outrage.

It could if it was done in secret. Not when it’s done where everyone can see it.

It was done in secret.

she stupidly associates with people who are addicted to social media. Wasn’t supposed to be seen, right?

It’s clearly just ‘locker room’ type shenanigans. Perfectly normal.

And yeah cocaine on the table is super bad. Obviously. And the kissy kissy with someone not her husband opens the blackmail box.

House Party,she was not grinding,they hope

You're in NATO now.

Get with the program.

quote: In December 2021 ... it was revealed she stayed out dancing until the early hours despite having been exposed to COVID-19.

Will EU nations allow Finland to join EU?

Lets see a video of yourselves in the Pub, or even your Bosses... let alone a party that you're hosting back home ?

Seriously... "Get a Life" has a true ring here.

You're in NATO now.

Get with the program.

Exactly! Get yourself a side-piece set up with an NDA. Come on, lady! You are making the old white men look bad.

She should resign.

Imagine Biden throwing a House Party,it would be the hippest thing ,he ever done, Obama threw lots of House Partying while he served as President

If she takes timeout to enjoy herself it will make her a better person and a better PM.

Sure she can enjoy all she wants in whichever way she wants. Political leaders in other countries get away with worse things.

Personally speaking, I don’t agree with a leader of a nation partying with folks who she may not know or be able to trust fully and that too in her own residence. Because of reasons of national security and nothing else.

But all that is for the Finns to judge.

My only doubt is that her own team is leaking these videos and photos for publicity. Finland elections are less than 8 months away and the more she is attacked the more sympathy she gets from the progressives.

And if you think politicians can’t stoop so low for a few extra votes then you got another thing coming.

if it wasnt a socialist, liberals would be all over this as inappropriate behavior of a world leader.

At least Main and the Social democrats do a better job of keeping poverty low and having a working social safety net.

No, not in any minority community.

I don't like her because she's a WEF hack, but this is a non-event.

So just another conspiracy theory then.

Call it what you will. 

The next elections in Finland are less than 8 months away. The leaks are timed perfectly.

Marin made headlines across the world last week when a video surfaced showing her dancing and partying with a group of friends and celebrities.

Some interpreted comments heard on the video as referring to narcotics, something heavily debated on social media and which she strongly denied.

As per folks from Finland commenting on YouTube the lyrics of the song to which she was gyrating to had been modified to refer to drugs and the modified lyrics suggested that she enjoyed taking drugs.

Marin confirmed on Tuesday the picture was taken at her official residence in Kesaranta

She is entitled to turn her home to Skid Row if she wants and no one other than the Finns themselves have any right to judge.

However the amusing point here is that those defending her would be tearing her apart if she were a conservative instead of a progressive.

I don't like her because she's a WEF hack, but this is a non-event.

Exactly.
