Finnish media reports state that other
partygoers can be heard shouting
"jauhojengi" in the background.
Al Jazeera reports that "jauhojengi"
translates to "flour gang" and
is Finnish slang for cocaine.
The leaked footage has prompted
political opponents to call on Marin
to take a voluntary drug test.
Riikka Purra, the opposition party's leader,
said the footage left a "shadow of doubt"
hanging over the prime minister.
On August 18, Marin denied taking drugs
at the party and refuted claims that the term
"jauhojengi" was being shouted in the footage.
In December 2019, Marin became Finland's
youngest prime minister ever at the age of 33.
I have a family life, I have a work life
and I have free time to spend with
my friends. Pretty much the same
as many people my age, Sanna Marin, Finnish Prime Minister, via Al Jazeera.

I am going to be exactly the same
person as I have been until now
and I hope that it will be accepted, Sanna Marin, Finnish Prime Minister, via Al Jazeera.
Last week, German news outlet 'Bild' named
Marin the "coolest politician in the world."
