Finnish PM Sanna Marin in Hot Water over Party Videos

So, the Finnish Prime Minister has found herself mired in controversy over leaked videos of her partying wildly in various private apartments and at a nightclub, where she is seen with some guy necking her, despite a highly publicised recent romantic wedding and birth of a daughter.

Some believe the leak is to do with Russian anti-NATO propaganda. Others that it is closer to home, with opposition leader Riika Purra of the Basic Finns (perusuomalaiset) seizing on the opportunity to state it is behaviour unbecoming of a prime minister, who represents the Social Democrats in a coalition government. Her predecessor, Antti Rinne, had to stand down because of a controversy, so I wonder if this will happen here, too.

The problem is, audio-analysis confirms that a voice in the background in one of the videos is definitely shouting 'jauhojengi!' Jauho is Finnish for 'flour' or any ground substance, such as mince and 'jenkki' is slang for gang (usually the now banned Hells Angels-style MC Cannonball, United Brotherhood and their off-shoots, linked with organised crime such as drug dealing). Given that in Finland recent drug smugglers of cocaine have been given extraordinarily long sentences, one can see that a country's prime minister is unwise to be associated with a crowd that champions the use of such products, even in jest. The yelling of 'powder gang!' and the frantic euphoric dancing has caused suspicion, resulting in Marin now having taken a drugs test.

The other criticism re the impression it sends in respect of the serious situation with Russia can be safely deflected as it is the President, Sauli Niinisto who is in charge of the Defence Forces and who report to him, not to Marin.
