Former Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin has been criticized by her fans for bragging about her vacation in the Austrian Alps.
The former politician, who now works with Tony Blair at the London-based Institute for Global Change, shared a glimpse of her trip to Austria with her one million Instagram followers earlier this week.
The former world leader posted a video of herself happily walking through the Austrian Alps and also recently shared bikini photos from her European vacation.
In the short clip, the politician, who announced she was divorcing her husband after 19 years together last May, is seen wearing a black puffer coat and cat-eye sunglasses.

Sanna was photographed wearing the same cat-eye sunglasses, a black turtleneck top and blue jeans.
In addition to posting a photo of the views of the Alps, the mom shared a video of herself taking a break from snowboarding and sitting on top of the slopes.
She captioned the post: “A few days in the Austrian Alps.”
The post has racked up more than 60,000 likes since it was posted earlier this week and prompted a select few followers to comment on how much Sanna has been traveling recently.
“All she (does) is travel,” one responded.
Meanwhile, another argued that Sanna’s trips were “a bit hypocritical if you’re trying to care about the environment.”
“Tell us how many tons of CO2 you have produced by traveling almost every week to another continent,” said a third. “This doesn’t seem too far-fetched, especially for a left-wing Green leader.”

However, a fourth gushed: ‘Coolest Prime Minister ever!’
“Go back to politics,” pleaded the fifth.
Sanna lost the general election in Finland to the leader of the country’s conservative party, Petteri Orpo, in April 2023.
Marin, the world’s youngest prime minister when she took office in 2019, faced criticism in Finland for her partying and her government’s spending on pensions and education.
Sanna enjoyed a fun-filled summer where she ditched blazers and suits for chunky heels and miniskirts.
Last year, she attended Paris Fashion Week, where she took pride of place in Victoria Beckham’s fashion show, wearing one of VB’s dresses.

Last month she headed to Paris Fashion Week, where she had a prime seat at the Victoria Beckham show.
Wearing bright red lipstick and a trendy £1,024 Victoria Beckham draped sleeve mini dress, Sanna looked more like an influencer than a politician.
She also shared behind-the-scenes photos and videos from the show (with her million followers), including several details of stylish black outfits, including a suit she paired with sneakers because she “loves to walk.”
The new fight for a glamorous life came at the end of a long year for Sanna, who at one time was the youngest leader of a nation, having assumed high office at just 34 years old in 2019.
She resigned as president of the center-left Social Democrats party earlier this year, after her party narrowly lost elections in April.
She has since joined Tony Blair’s Institute for Global Change, a London-based policy think tank, as a “Strategic Advisor”.
Announcing their separation, the couple, who have a five-year-old daughter, said: “We are grateful for our 19 years together and for our darling daughter.” We will continue to be best friends.’
Sanna, who lost the Finnish general election and divorced her husband, had also been enjoying a fun-filled single summer, ditching jackets and suits for chunky heels and miniskirts.
She weathered several publicity storms while in office, including for her clubbing during the pandemic, hosting private parties at her official residence and voluntarily taking a drug test.
After her tumultuous spring, she took some time to have fun and was spotted at Flow, a music festival in Helsinki, in August. She was joined by a group of friends, including her parliamentary colleague Nasima Razmyar.
In another post, he explained that it’s his first vacation “in a long time.” “This summer I had a real summer vacation for the first time in a long time,” she wrote.
‘It has included, among other things, being busy with Emma (her five-year-old daughter), sports, friends, good food and unforgettable trips.
‘Have a nice summer everyone. And thanks to those who are working in the summer and taking care of us!’
After leading her country through COVID-19 lockdowns and subsequent economic turmoil, Marin became a staunch supporter of Ukraine after the Russian invasion last year and successfully pushed to end non-alignment. Finland’s military in favor of NATO membership.
While many called her a millennial inspiration who encouraged younger people to be less apathetic towards politics, she was still a controversial figure in Finland.
Finnish voters, concerned about issues such as immigration and the growing public deficit, handed Marin a narrow defeat to the right-wing National Coalition and the far-right Finns party in April, leading to the fall of the government.
She weathered several publicity storms while in office, including for her clubbing during the pandemic, hosting private parties at her official residence and voluntarily taking a drug test, which came back negative, after a video of the party was leaked to the public. media.
Dozens of complaints were filed with Finland’s Justice Minister Tuomas Pöysti after Sanna was shown dancing and partying with friends and celebrities, making headlines around the world.
But the chancellor, an independent office responsible for overseeing the legality of government activities and to which any citizen can file complaints, concluded that Sanna had not neglected her duties as prime minister.
Pöysti said there was “no reason to suspect the prime minister of unlawful conduct in the performance of her duties or dereliction of official duties.”
At the time of the scandal, Marín said that he spent “an evening with friends” and that the videos were “filmed in a private place.” ‘I’m human. And I too sometimes long for joy and light and fun in the midst of these dark clouds,” she said.
Complaints to the chancellor alleged that Marin was unfit to work “due to alcohol consumption”, stated that her behavior was inappropriate for a prime minister and that she undermined Finland’s “reputation and security”.
But the chancellor said the complaints failed to establish that Marin had omitted or jeopardized a “specific official duty.”
