Finland’s PM Sanna Marin Struggles for her Right to Party

Leaked video of Finland’s Prime Minster Sanna Marin attending a party has sparked political backlash. These videos, which were compiled with several clips of Sanna Marin at a party in Finland, show her singing and dancing along with some Finnish pop stars.
