Finland election brings NEW threat to EU: The Brexit-backing Farage fan vying for Finexit
https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/910377/Finland-president-election-Laura-Huhtasaari-brexit-finns-party-eu-immigrationLaura Huhtasaari, a 38-year-old former teacher, is trying to bring anti-immigration populist ideas back to mainstream Finnish politics and her campaign for the presidency has seen her reputation soar ahead of the first round of voting on Sunday.
Her Finns Party has employed tactics from a variety of populist politicians, echoing Donald Trump with her “Finland first” slogan and French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, who used nationalism as a key theme in her campaign.
Her eurosceptic rhetoric sounds a lot like that of former Ukip leader Nigel Farage, even telling of her admiration for the 53-year-old’s Brexit campaign as she told supporters to “take their country back”.
Finland has their election on January 28th. Laura Huhtasaari is one of the candidates and she is anti-EU.
