Sanna
Marin, the 36-year-old Finnish Prime Minister whose dancing video has caused a
political firestorm, has agreed to take a drug test, according to Finnish news
website yle.fi. Taking questions from the media about accusations of the
mention of drugs at the party she attended, Marin said she is willing to take a
drug test if necessary. “I have nothing to hide. I have never taken drugs,” she
said.

Marin’s
decision to take a drug test came after opposition party Finns chair Rikka
Purra called on her to voluntarily undergo a drug test during an interview.
Mikko Karna, a member of the Finnish Parliament, had also made a similar call
on Twitter.

Speaking to
journalists from the Kuopio airport on Thursday, Sanna Marin said she did not
understand why there were calls for her to take a drug test. “I have seen no
evidence that anything has been used anywhere.” Marina was at Kupio to attend
the Social Democratic Party’s summer congress.

Videos of
Sanna Marin dancing at a party have gone viral on social media. A section of
media outlets reported that the word ‘jauhojengi’ (Finnish word for powder
gang, an apparent reference to cocaine) was made in the videos. However, some
on social media have pointed out that the term may more likely be ‘jallujengi’
or ‘jallu jenny,’ referring to Finnish liquor Jaloviina, yle.fi reported.

Meanwhile,
Sanna Marin has said the videos should not have been published. “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,” she said.

“Personally,
I did not take drugs, nor did I consume anything other than alcohol. I danced,
sang, and parties – perfectly legal things. And I’ve never been in a situation
where I’ve seen or known of others (using drugs),” Marin added.

Previously,
Sanna Marin had said she wanted to shake up the office of the prime minister.
But these parties are not for that, she says. “I want to show that there are
ordinary people with ordinary lives in these jobs. 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 people my age.”
