The Finnish Prime Minister, Sanna Marin, was emotional this Wednesday at an event in which she participated in the Lahti market. Recalling the controversies that she has been the subject of in recent days, the head of the Executive of the Nordic country admitted that this “The week was not easy. The truth is that it has been very difficult.” “I want to believe that people look at what we do at work and not what we do in our free time.”
According to Finnish media, Sanna Marin said she “also sometimes misses” “joy, light and fun in the midst of dark clouds”. “I’m human too.” Regretting “the photos and materials” that have been made public in recent days, such as the video of the Prime Minister’s dance or the photos on topless at his official residence —, Sanna Marin acknowledged that the public does not “like to see” these “private moments”.
However, the prime minister stressed that these are “private” moments, which show “joy”. “I didn’t miss a day of work, I didn’t miss any homework”, assured Sanna Marin amid applause from the audience. The official then made a comparison with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky: “These days I have been thinking about President Zelensky and the people of Ukraine, that he is really suffering. I’m going to learn. I’m doing my job the best I can.”
Ensuring that he will not resign after these controversiesSanna Marin said she will continue to do “her job” to “build a stronger country” and continue to help Ukraine. After her speech, the prime minister received hugs from the public that listened to her.
