I think that was the one where she was unreachable by the government (this was still the covid times, 2021) which is a no-no and was seen as dancing with/maybe kissing another man (a celebrity) while her husband was at home with their daughter. (They separated some time after) That soured a lot of people’s view on her. Of course her being a young woman was further incrimination to many of her opponents.
Another similar scandal was the house party video where she was allegedly doing coke. I don’t think anything was proven there. Someone on the video was yelling “powder gang” which is weird but not exactly solid evidence, but it became a huge meme and just solidified her reputation as a “party girl”, something beneath the position of a PM.
I think those were the bigger non-politics scandals.
I don’t know what you mean by invented. A lot of people thought partying drunk on video wasn’t really appropriate behaviour for the PM. People don’t mind (at least as much) if it happens behind closed doors, but Marin unfortunately had shitty enough friends that they posted that stuff online. That sort of stuff eroded a lot of respect for her and it was already an uphill battle since she was a young woman, she had to fight double as hard as a middle aged man in her position would’ve had to.
I didn’t really mind her partying and stuff, but it was just a bad look. Her fooling the voters later on was much worse imo than just being drunk on camera. That later thing really soured me on her.
she was judged extra hard for being a young woman in that position
none of the topics, breakfast, dancing, etc were issues in any other case. Yeah younger generations live with phones and might have stupid friends. It’s not a national crisis without being forced to be one
The parliament was convened during summer break for a special session to vote on whether the government still has the confidence of the parliament. That’s pretty big. And it’s been the main topic in news for a while now. And it’s not like the corruption investigation and the ripples from that are over.
Marin got shit from those videos and accusations, but it didn’t really become a huge parliamentary deal same way as this corruption case has. Tbf they’re two very different sort of scandals
I would like to add that it’s very likely they were not yelling this, “jauhojengi”, at all but “jallujengi” which would be about drinking Jaloviina, Finnish cut brandy. Link to a wikipedia page. I fucking love Jallu and will always spread the Gospel of Jaloviina.
I don’t know about likely, most heard “jauhojengi” and at the time I listened to it a bunch too and couldn’t hear “jallujengi” myself. And I was her supporter so I had a reason to hear it that way hah

I wish my leader were only an adulterer and cocaine user.
At least her extramarital affairs are with adults.
We have a different sort of bar here I suppose hah. Then again, she was judged extra hard for being a young woman in that position.
But it also genuinely wasn’t appropriate behaviour (to be videotaped doing) for a PM.
Nah the appropriateness or lack of it was invented. Worst she’s done is join the Tony Blair Institute, just another capitalist

I mean how you said
none of the topics, breakfast, dancing, etc were issues in any other case. Yeah younger generations live with phones and might have stupid friends. It’s not a national crisis without being forced to be one
It would’ve been a scandal with any pm if you have a drunken party on video, with the accusations of drugs and extramarital affairs.
She just got it harder because she was a young woman pm. But it’s wasn’t a thing just because of that
Meh, there’s currently a bigger scandal with less effects

It depends on the culture I guess. It would be less of a problem in France (source : am French).

I couldn’t hear the “jauho” at all, did a blind hearing once the videos came out. Blue dress, gold dress I guess. :D
This is even closer
