However, Marin has strongly denied the allegations and claimed that she has never consumed any narcotics in her life. “Never in my life, not even in my youth, have I ever used any drugs”, she said.
“To clear up any suspicions, I have taken a drug test today”, she told the media at her residence. She further said that the results will be out in a week and be shared with the media immediately.
Talking about the controversy, she admitted to consuming alcohol while denying consuming drugs or having witnessed any drug use at the party.
The young chief of Finland have been majorily criticised on the fact that she was on duty as the prime minister during partying and could not have been able to make a rational decision in case of an emergency in the state.
Several opposition leaders also slammed her over ‘inappropriate’ behaviour in terms of her designation.
