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
both are in a sense trumpian/post-truth. the current one being swept under the rug and pretending nothing happened, and the marin case pretending something more happened than did
This corruption case has had a parliamentary vote about confidence in the government during the summer break in a special session and has been by far the biggest thing in the news for a while now, being talked about constantly. And the thing isn’t even over yet…
I’m just talking about it being swept under the rug. Parliamentary vote on confidence of government and an investigation by the chancellor of justice is as much as you’d expect from most of these, most of the time. And as far as media goes, being the top news by far for however long this has been going on is the highest that can really go.
Some would definitely want to sweep it under the rug but that hasn’t happened. Far from it.
sure, is being actively swept under the rug is different. I guess we’ll see if this ever leads to anything concrete (and not just “oh they will get less votes from the public”)
I mean how you said

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 has been a show for show’s sake. a vote with a majority coalition doesn’t really matter until they start to vote against each other
