In New Zealand, Marin was asked about the reason for the visit, in Australia, a summer dance video was of interest.
The summer party buzz affects the next prime minister Sanna Marinia (sd.) during his visit to New Zealand and Australia this week.
Marin, who appeared on Australian television, was asked how she explains the criticism she received from the dance video.
– Actually, there weren’t many people who criticized it. It was more about the journalists and the media, who made it a media spectacle or a hassle, Marin answered in the 7.30 program of the ABC channel.
– People stopped me on the street and said they supported me. Keep dancing! They did not see or feel that there was anything so wrong with it. So maybe it was just a spectacle because the media thought it was interesting, Marin continued.
Prime Minister Marin is scheduled to meet his Australian counterpart on Friday Anthony Albanese in Sydney, visiting a few corporate events and speaking at the local Lowy Institute.
Financial Times listed among the influential
