The article featured an image of four different women and the caption read, “All in their thirties: These women have a country to run. (From left to right) Finland’s Minister of VESA MOILANEN/LEHTIKUVA/AFP/GETTY IMAGES.”
We also checked the official website of the Finnish Government to confirm the identity of the ministers.
Li Andersson – Minister of Education
Maria Ohisalo – Minister of the Interior
Katri Kulmuni – Minister of Finance
On further investigation, we found that the women in the viral picture are Twins Prisma & Princy and Deepa & Damanta, TikTok stars from Nepal.
On of the Twins also uploaded the original picture on her Facebook page on March 31, 2019.
