Finland's former Prime Minister Sanna Marin, who narrowly lost an election in April, stepped down on Friday as chair of the centre-left Social Democrats, hoping to take the focus off her personal life after an often turbulent four years at the helm.

          The video makes it pretty clear what’s going down. She has also stated nothing happened he wasn’t aware of, so it might not be cheating regardless.

          Seems an awfully specific phrasing in English in regards to what he has agreed to in their relationship, but maybe it’s less suspiciously specific in Finnish.

    HELSINKI, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Finland’s former Prime Minister Sanna Marin, who narrowly lost an election in April, stepped down on Friday as chair of the centre-left Social Democrats, hoping to take the focus off her personal life after an often turbulent four years at the helm.

    Marin, who had announced her intention to quit soon after the election loss, was the world’s youngest prime minister when she took the post in 2019 aged 34, attracting attention around the globe and helping lift Finland’s profile.

    After leading the country through COVID-19 lockdowns and the ensuing economic turmoil, Marin became a vocal supporter of Ukraine after Russia’s invasion last year and succesfully pushed to end Finland’s military non-alignment in favour of NATO membership.

    Marin, now 37, has appeared on the covers of Vogue and Time Magazine, has a million followers on Instagram and is considered by fans around the world as a millennial role model for progressive leaders.

    But at home, voters concerned with issues like immigration and a growing public deficit in April handed Marin a narrow defeat to the right wing National Coalition and the far-right Finns party, triggering the government’s fall.

    The drug test was negative, Marin announced, and she apologised to Finns when a picture from a party at the prime minister’s seaside residence showed two well-known female influencers covering their bare breasts with a “Finland” sign.
