Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin is receiving prominent support over the excitement surrounding her dance video. Hillary Clinton shared a photo of herself on Twitter, showing her dancing as US Secretary of State in Cartagena. Clinton has a clear message for Marin.
The video was not intended for the public. But for almost two weeks it has been a big topic in public: A video showing the Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin dancing with friends. There was criticism as to whether such celebrations were worthy of the office of prime minister, especially in view of the current world and crisis situation. Sanna Marin took a drug test, which was negative.
In addition to criticism, Marin also experiences a lot of support: she does her job very well, private celebrations have nothing to do with it; Politicians are people, they can celebrate like everyone else; 36-year-old Sanna Marin embodies an authentic, young leadership style and that is to be welcomed. Feminist solidarity in particular is great.
Sanna Marin thanks Hillary Clinton
Sanna Marin is now receiving prominent support from Hillary Clinton, who experienced misogyny on the most prominent stage – in the US election campaign against Donald Trump – and who has many years of experience as a politician. The former US Secretary of State shared a picture on Twitter showing her dancing, smiling and relaxed. “Here I am in Cartagena when I was there for a meeting as secretary of state,” Clinton wrote. And sends a clear message to Sanna Marin: “Keep dancing”.
The Finnish Prime Minister is obviously happy about it. She shared the tweet with a “thank you” and a heart. Both posts have more than 150,000 likes after not just one day.
Finnish women have also expressed their solidarity on social media in recent days. They shared videos of themselves dancing and partying using the hashtag “#SolidaritywithSanna”.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock also defended Sann Marin. “Even if it may shock some, politicians are people and have a private life,” said Baerbock during her visit to Copenhagen. “I also like music and, when I have some private time, not only play cards, but was on my vacation – unfortunately not at a party – but at a rock concert.”
