Read our privacy policy Finland’s prime minister Sanna Marin has come under fire for partying at a nightclub despite knowing she had come in contact with foreign minister Pekka Haavisto who had contracted Covid-19. Christian Democrats chair and MP Sari Essayah said Ms Marin violated the ministry’s policy by leaving her phone behind. Finance minister Annika Saarikko, a member of the Centre Party which is a part of the coalition government, said she was not the right person to judge Ms Marin’s behaviour. Speaking to Yle in October, Ms Marin had said: “I’m a representative of the younger generation and yes, that’s reflected in the way I do my work and how I live.”
