The Prime Minister of Finland has come under fire after a leaked video shows her at a wild party with some celebrity friends.
Sanna Marin, 36, who has been called the "coolest politician in the world" due to her relaxed leadership style, was shown partying with Finnish singer Alma, TV presenter Tinni Wikstrom and rapper Petri Nygard.
Influencers and other members of her own Social Democratic party were also at the bash.
The video clip showing the group of friends partying hard was shared online by Finnish tabloid Iltalehti.
It shows Marin dancing and singing with her friends in what looks like an apartment - she has vehemently denied taking drugs.
Commenting on the video, Marin says she is 'upset' the video didn't stay private but added that all she was doing was dancing singing and partying - "perfectly legal things".
Reported in Finnish publication Yle, Marin said: "I am upset that these videos have become public. It was about me having a night out with friends. Partying -- even in a boisterous way -- dancing and singing.
"Personally, I did not take drugs, nor did I consume anything other than alcohol. I danced, sang, and partied - perfectly legal things. And I've never been in a situation where I've seen or known of others [using drugs].
Marin continued explaining that she does want to shake up the institution of Prime Minister, although that's not what the parties are about.
"I want to show that there are ordinary people with ordinary lives in these jobs," she explained.
"I have a family life, I have a work life and I have free time to spend with my friends. Pretty much the same as many people my age."
This isn't the only time the Prime Minister has attracted media attention for her love of partying.
She was criticised last year for going clubbing until 4am despite having been in contact with a positive Covid case, reports the Sun.
Marin said she missed the text which advised her to isolate because she only had her personal phone and not her government phone on her at that time.
And the PM did apologise at the time, writing in a statement: "I am very sorry for not understanding that I needed to do that."
Despite some criticism, Marin also has a lot of supporters and people who love her for the way she leads.
This week the German newspaper Bild referred to her as the "coolest politician in the world".
It wrote: "She is the most important politician in her country, has to lead it through one of the most dangerous crises of her time because of the warlike activity of her neighbour Russia – and still finds time to celebrate.
"Casual, modern and self-confident – that’s how politics can work. Marin stands for the ‘cool generation’, which Putin definitely doesn’t like."
Marin has been very publically critical of Putin since he invaded Ukraine in February.
She and the Swedish Prime Minister, Magdalena Andersson, have led the two neutral countries into joining NATO.
And this week Marin annnounced the news that Finland would be cutting tourist visas for Russian people down to 10 per cent of the original amount.
She became the youngest Prime Minister in the world when she was nominated at the age of 34.
Marin had become a member of parliament in 2015 at the age of 30 before taking the PM role just four years later.
She's now the youngest person to ever be in office in the history of Finland, and the third youngest world leader after Dritan Abazovic of Montenegro and Gabriel Boric of Chile.
Married to Markus Raikkonen, the couple share a daughter, Emma.
