Feels refreshing to see news about Finland pop up that are not about Marin's partying scandal. There's a reason I haven't read domestic news actively for at least few weeks.

A story about a party is a great way to distract people from real problems Finland faces like food and energy shortages.

Really, it's so popular in Finland? Is it so surprising to people that she is a human, and like every human she is having a party from time to time?

The topic dominated many headlines, be it tabloids or websites.

Yes! The party however appeared to be more raunchy and there were rumors about drugs being used. Marin even had to do a drug test that was negative.

You can say about Boris Jonson what you want, but at least he didnt allow any videos leak from his illegal parties. Seems like Finnish government is not capable of such basic PR work.

Why do you say that party [edit: involving Sanna Marin, not Boris Johnson] was illegal?

Didnt Johnsons parties violate lockdown rules?

I mean a recent party with Sanna Marin.
