Timo Soini - Leader, The Finns Party

Stephen Sackur talks to the leader of the Finnish nationalist party, known as the True Finns, who wants to see the Eurozone dismantled.

Europe's prolonged economic crisis has prompted a populist backlash against the powers that be. In Finland, the EU's prosperous northern outpost, the big beneficiary has been Timo Soini, leader of the Eurosceptic, nationalist party long known as the True Finns.

He wants to see the Eurozone dismantled, immigration curbed, traditional values restored. Critics have labelled the party xenophobic - is this the angry politics of European disintegration?
