On the eve of Emmanuel Macron’s speech to MEPs, the far-right candidate summoned the press to Paris to recall her project for a “Europe of nations”, while refusing to make it a subject of the presidential election. .
The best soups are made in old pots. On the eve of Emmanuel Macron’s speech on Europe and in these first days of French presidency of the EU, Marine Le Pen has therefore highlighted the political divide between “globalists” and nationalists which has allowed him, since 2017, to settle in a comfortable one-on-one with the tenant of the Elysée. “You will not be surprised that [ma] vision is the antithesis of that defended by Emmanuel Macron and, on this subject too, the presidential election will be for the French, the opportunity to decide between two visions of Europe”, said the far-right candidate at a press conference on Tuesday in Paris.
Such, then, is the alternative before which Le Pen intends to place the French: his project “European Alliance of Nations” designed primarily as a “community of civilization [à] millennia-old history” ; or a “European Union forgetful of peoples and dominator of nations”, fake nose of a “European-wide centralized unitary state”. This last “being further under the influence of Germany”, erected by the boss of the RN as the number 1 opponent of France in most areas: industrial, military, identity, etc. Which, she points out, risks getting worse with the new German coalition bringing together Greens, Socialists and Liberals.
Campaign mark
If Le Pen no longer supports, unlike 2017, an exit from the euro – she argues in this matter her “pragmatism” and recognizes thaton monetary and fiscal policy […], the evolution has been the most spectacular” –, the EU is, at home, always decked out with the worst intentions. In particular to want, with the “Migration Pact”, “Organize the demographic submersion of Europe”, quite transparent synonym of “great replacement”, racist and conspiratorial term that Marine Le Pen refuses to use.
Notably because Eric Zemmour made it the hallmark of his campaign. “Some institutes estimate at least 70 million the number of people wishing to go to Europe in the coming years”, supports the far-right candidate, without of course specifying the name of these institutes. “By voting for my project, the French will not only save France from organized deconstruction but Europe from planned submersion”, she concludes.
large nationalist group
Far from wanting to isolate France from other European countries, Marine Le Pen declares on the contrary that she wants “taking the lead in this questioning of the current European Union to allow the advent of a true Europe of Nations”, supported according to her by her Polish, Hungarian but also Italian, Portuguese and Spanish allies. To show that this alliance is possible, the RN candidate already went to Poland in early December to work with a dozen parties on the continent for the advent of a large nationalist group in the European Parliament.
She could again go to another meeting of this kind, scheduled for the next few weeks in Madrid. But the MP for Pas-de-Calais warns: she will not campaign on the EU. “We are not in a European campaign, I am not confusing everything, I am not Emmanuel Macron, she sweeps. Europe is not one of the concerns of the French. And even less of his electorate.
