(Image via Antti Aimo-Koivisto/Getty) Finland Prime Minister Sanna Marin has issued an apology over a controversial picture circulated over the internet, which was taken at her residence. The photograph shows two topless women kissing each other and covering their bare breasts with a sign that reads "Finland." However, none of the women were Marin but some of her guests who were staying at her place. While speaking to reporters in Helsinki on August 23, the 36-year-old politician stated: “I think the picture is not appropriate, I apologise for it. Such a picture should not have been taken."

The politician added that her guests spent the evening at her residence and went to the sauna. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post "We had sauna, swam, and spent time together.

Moreover, she took a drug test to prove her statement as it showed a negative result on August 22, as per an official statement from her office.
