Watch | Finnish PM Sanna Marin finds support from women across the world after dance party video leak

Finland’s prime minister is ruling out taking any drugs during a party in a private home with some friends, after a video showing six people dancing in front of camera, including Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin, was leaked. (AP)

Fiona Patten, an Australian politician took to Twitter and shared, "if letting off steam at a party is the worst thing your prime minister has done, then you're a pretty lucky country," posting a photo of her dancing in the street.

Meanwhile, on Monday, the Finnish government said a drug test taken by the 36-year-old prime minister was negative, while the local media in Finland have faced criticism for alleging, without evidence, that drugs were used at the party where the videos were filmed, the report said. However, it is worth noting that the scandal has led to no serious calls for Sanna Marin to resign and the ruling Social Democrats back their prime minister, the Bloomberg report said.

The Finnish Prime Minister responded, “I have never used drugs in my life, not even in my younger years," while confirming the authenticity of the leaked videos, stating, “I wish we lived in a society where my word could be trusted. But when suspicions like this are raised here, that’s why I took these tests."
