Finland Prime Minister Sanna Marin has been in the eye of the storm recently after a leaked video of her dancing and partying with friends circulated on social media. While Marin received backlash from a lot of people, numerous women from Finland are showing their solidarity with her by posting their videos of dancing and partying. The controversy began last week when a video of Sanna Marin that appeared to have been shot at a private residence showed her drinking and dancing with a group of friends. The video featured several prominent Finnish public figures, including singer Alma, TV host Tinni Wikstrom, and YouTuber Ilona Ylikorpi. To show solidarity with Marin, many women from Finland posted their videos of dancing and partying on social media with the hashtag ‘SolidarityWithSanna’.

Have.. have you guys seen the rest of the world right now? I’d kill for a leader whose worst scandal is drinking and dancing with friends,” posted a Twitter user. “She’s clever, she’s principled, she’s beautiful.she knows how to behave in the political theatre..and now we see she can party and the girl can move. They are just cheap shots from haters,” wrote another. “World would be much better off if leaders danced more instead of being angry and firing off weapons to prove how ‘strong’ they are,” shared a third. In 2019, Sanna Marin was sworn in as the country’s prime minister. At 34, she became the world’s youngest prime minister, beating the earlier record set by New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
