    It’s very bad, she isn’t serious enough, she should stay at home and make sandwiches or something I guess?

  2. Saw those videos and it made me instantly like here. SUch a chill woman who knows to have fun, a trait so important for a leader of a country.

    Keep her, Fins, she is awesome.

  3. Finally a PM that is a human being. Those who leaked the video are poor people. I rather prefer a PM that enjoys the life and freedom we have here than other dictatorial leaders that spend time stealing from the people accumulating wealth and planning wars.

  4. It’s ridiculous how much hate Marin gets for having a social life outside of work hours. Like, why should that matter?! She’s still young, let her live as long as it doesn’t affect her work life. This should be an absolute non-story.

  5. To be honest, I would only be concerned if she ended up being too high to work/take difficult decisions on a short notice. Aside from that, who fucking cares?

  6. Ex-PM Alexander Stubb was criticised when he used shorts. When young and pretty Sanna Marin is doing shit like this it’s fine because she’s young and pretty. Those double standards.

  7. Shock Finnish PM is a women in her 30s with a social life. Also add that her husband is a very lucky man.

    Finnish security services need to give someone a kicking over this.

  8. The woman is at an age where she would rather go to a party than go to an early bird social and be in bed by 2030.

    I’m jealous of Finland, they have a PM that knows what is like to be under 40 not because is a faded memory of the millennium but because she actually is.

    Edit: 2030 is 08:30pm. Military time is drilled into my typing style.

  9. Correction: Only right wing cares about this. No one else does. They hate her since she has been one of the best PMs in our history. They can’t find ANYTHING else but” she is young and a woman”.

  10. Dutch PM is known to visit a dance festival every now and again during the summer vacation. People take a selfie and think it’s cool. I guess it is not an issue because he’s a man…

  11. “Politicians are so disconnected from average people, they live in their ivory towers far from everyday life.”

    And

    “Hey, a 30 something woman shouldn’t have fun with her friends, she’s a politician, politicians shouldn’t behave like that!”

    Kind of difficult to navigate, I imagine.

  12. Not really an issue, the video is tiktok level of cringe tho.
    For people that are calling the critics sexists have you already forgot how years ago we had entire articles dedicated to Trump drinking too much coca cola?
    It’s politics, your political opponents will go for whatever to hurt you, find a better excuse to defend a female politician you like than screaming for sexism everytime.

  13. Here in Bavaria it’s completely normal that politicians are partying at beer festivals. Even Bavarian prime ministers. Is Finland that puritanical?
