Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin has undergone a drug test, she announced on Friday.
Marin had been caught up in a media storm after images surfaced on social media of a party she attended. The result of the drug test is expected in about a week.
“I have never taken drugs in my life,” the Social Democratic politician told journalists on Friday. “I really wish people would not make claims like this when there’s no evidence.”
