The Finnish Prime Minister, Sanna Marin, is facing a backlash after being seen partying in a leaked video.
In the footage, thought to be taken from social media, she and friends including Finnish celebrities are seen dancing and singing.
She has faced criticism from opposition parties, with one leader demanding she take a drug test.
Ms Marin, 36, denied taking drugs, saying she only drank alcohol and just partied "in a boisterous way".
Formerly the world's youngest head of government - a title now held by Chilean President Gabriel Boric - Ms Marin makes no secret of partying, and has often been photographed at music festivals.
Last year she apologised for going clubbing after coming into close contact with a Covid-19 case.
Just last week, Ms Marin was dubbed the "coolest prime minister in the world" by German news outlet Bild.

I thought after reading this article that she'd be totally off her nut in the video but actually there's nothing very unusual in it, fair play to her really for maintaining a social life. It was obviously a pretty small gathering so poor form of the person who leaked it. Part of the reason so many capable people are put off politics is the fact they don't think they'll be able to lead a normal life outside of the job
