Le Pen: De EU zal sterven en vervangen worden door een nieuw Europa, een 'Europa voor het volk'



France's Le Pen says the EU 'will die', globalists to be defeated

The European Union will disappear, French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen told a rally on Sunday, promising to shield France from globalisation as she sought to fire up her supporters in the final four weeks before voting gets underway.

Buoyed by the unexpected election of Donald Trump in the United States and by Britain's vote to leave the EU, the leader of the eurosceptic and anti-immigrant National Front (FN) party, told the rally in Lille that the French election would be the next step in what she called a global rebellion of the people.

"The European Union will die because the people do not want it anymore ... arrogant and hegemonic empires are destined to perish," Le Pen said to loud cheers and applause.

"The time has come to defeat globalists," she said, accusing her main rivals, centrist Emmanuel Macron and conservative Francois Fillon, of "treason" for their pro-EU, pro-market policies.

On Sunday, while predicting the EU's demise, she was careful to say she would seek to replace it with "another Europe," which she called "the Europe of the people", based on a loose cooperative of nations.

"It must be done in a rational, well-prepared way," she told Le Parisien daily in an interview. "I don't want chaos. Within the negotiation calendar I want to carry out ... the euro would be the last step because I want to wait for the outcome of elections in Germany in the autumn before renegotiating it."

Reacting to Le Pen's comments on the death of the EU, France's ambassador to the United States, Gerard Araud, tweeted: "That'll be the real significance of the French elections: the survival or the demise of the EU. A quasi-referendum."

Some 72 percent of French voters want to keep the euro, an Ifop poll published in Le Figaro newspaper showed.

But unlike voters overall, a large majority of FN voters back a euro exit, the poll showed.

"I'm convinced it will explode anyway, so she is right to anticipate it and prepare for an intelligent and organized exit from the euro before we head for even more of a disaster than we are in now," 56-year-old bank employee Marie-Dominique Rossignol said after the rally.

Volgens Gerard Araud, Frans ambassadeur in de VS, kan men de Franse verkiezingen als een referendum over het verderbestaan van de EU beschouwen.

Hoe ziet U dit allemaal?

Post tevens hier Uw dieper inzicht terzake. Graag.

Marine Le Pen is sinds kort anders wel gedraaid wat de euro betreft, blijkbaar iets minder gerust op geraakt.

Le Pen wil nationale Franse munt naast de euro

Krijg het idee dat Marine, evenals May, wel de voordelen van de EU wil, maar niet de nadelen - cherrypicking
