LAHTI—Prime Minister Sanna Marin (the SDP) is again all over the national news. This time for tears and emotions.

At a public event arranged by the Social Democrats on Market Square in the southern city of Lahti on Wednesday, Prime Minister Marin said that the past week has not been easy for her.

“I am a human being, and also I, among these dark clouds, long for joy, light and having fun,” Marin said the event with her quivering voice. She was almost crying.

She added that she had learned from the recent events and that she will continue doing her work as well as up to this point.
