Neither the European Union, nor the euro, nor unemployment, nor poverty: the wonderful program of Marin Le Pen
In the last interview, Marine Le Pen formulated some points of her program: to become president of the country, to withdraw France from NATO, from the European Union, and also from the eurozone, as prices rose, taxes increased, unemployment increased, people became poorer because of the euro currency. The head of the National Front party also noted that she respects Putin and Trump.
In an interview with a Greek edition, Marine Le Pen said that she intended to participate in the presidential elections in France. The exit of the state from the EU will become part of its policy. France must withdraw from the EU and NATO and leave the Eurozone. "Frexit will be part of my policy," the newspaper quoted the leader of the National Front quotes the interview "Vedomosti".
Le Pen described the single European currency as a tool for blackmail: “Where the euro is, prices, taxes and unemployment have risen there, wages and pensions have decreased, and citizens have become poorer”. A spokeswoman for the National Front called on a number of countries to leave the European Union. Her appeal concerned Greece, Cyprus, Portugal, Italy, Spain and Ireland. Moreover, she believes that the named states “ideally” could leave the European structures “on the same day as France”.
As for the North Atlantic Alliance, Le Pen believes that this organization has lost historical meaning: “It was created when there was a threat of the Warsaw Pact and the expansion of the communist Soviet Union. The USSR is no more, as is the Warsaw Pact. Washington Supports NATO to Serve Its Goals in Europe. ”
At the end of the interview, Le Pen said that she respects Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.
Whether from such speeches, whether from others, but a special “people's” (not to be confused with political) rating of the leader of the National Front jumped so much that even rival F. Fillon (another candidate for the presidency from the “right” camp) was left behind.
Le Pen for the first time hit the top fifty most popular personalities of France. The corresponding traditional survey was conducted by the newspaper "Le Journal du Dimanche", reports RBC.
Le Pen managed to get to 37-place. She outperformed her main rival candidate, Republican nominee Francois Fillon, at 5. He was on the 42 line, which is also not bad.
Le Pen’s rather high figure, and the very “hit” in the rating lines, proves the popularity of the presidential candidate. She has a solid base of supporters, believes the French edition.
On the other hand, we add, neither Le Pen’s decisive statements about the future of France, nor the constant populism in its slogans (on the themes of overcoming poverty, leaving NATO, the barrier to migrants, etc.) did not give it to that “army” of supporters to ensure victory in the upcoming elections with a noticeable margin.
For Marine Le Pen is ready to cast votes at most 30% of voters (according to other polls, total 25%).
Of course, among the Parisians there are enough euro skeptics, as well as those who express views solidarity with them and can join them in voting. During the reign of Hollande, the popularity of EU institutions fell sharply: today, according to various polls, forty percent of citizens who approve of the very existence of the European Union are not recruited. At the same time, a little more than half of the French support the idea of holding a referendum on the topic of leaving the EU. These citizens are certainly inspired by the example of Britain. In addition, one must assume that they are fed up with migrants: the “quotas” of the European Union for receiving refugees may be beneficial to capitalists, but often are not approved by the common people.
Hence the slogans of Marine Le Pen: she believes that such a referendum could be a “liberation from slavery and blackmail” by the European bureaucrats wiping their pants in Brussels. Countries enslaved to these types must try and “regain” their sovereignty, Marin is convinced. She cites the example of the British. It is worth a few countries to leave the EU, as it will fall apart by itself.
Extremely negative, reminds "Russian newspaper"The head of the National Front also applies to the Schengen agreements: after all, it is because of them that refugees from the Middle East and Africa rushed into the Old World. With uncontrolled movement across Europe, it’s time to stop.
The slogans are very loud, but only a third of the French are ready to vote today for Frexit.
June survey "TNS Sofres", notes "Independent newspaper", testifies that only 33% of the French would vote for leaving the EU if a referendum were held. And 45% of respondents do not want to leave the European union. Moreover, a segment of voters sympathetic to the ideas of the National Front does not at all show unity in the Frexit question. Only 74% supporters of Marine Le Pen are ready to say “yes” to exit from the EU.
Theses and slogans of Marine Le Pen and her parties do not like Washington very much. In addition, Washington does not approve of the policy of financing the activities of the party.
The editors of “Libération” said that the United States is “concerned” with the possible financing of the National Front by the Russians. And not only financing: they say, Putin has already elected Trump in the USA, and now he will elect Le Pen in France.
“After Trump - Le Pen? Washington, which recently accused Russia of assisting Donald Trump's victory in his arrival at the White House, is convinced that Vladimir Putin would prefer to conduct this maneuver in France again, forcing him to elect Marine Le Pen, ”the website quoted the Libération. "Inopressa".
Referring to the data of Canard enchaîné (Canada), the publication writes that American intelligence is concerned about a loan of thirty million dollars, which Moscow provided to the National Front. This money will go to the campaign of the candidate Marine Le Pen in the 2017 presidential election of the year. One of the American congressmen even said that agents should be sent to Russia to investigate the issue, that is, to collect "additional details on this broad campaign intended for waging information war against the United States and other countries whose interests contradict the interests of Russia." The American parliamentarian also wrote something else: “In the event of victory, Marine Le Pen recognizes Crimea as an integral part of Russian territory.”
Experts believe that for France the exit from the European Union will be disadvantageous, as well as for the UK.
“France is very different from Great Britain in relation to European integration,” said Nezavisimaya Gazeta Tatyana Zvereva, Head of the Center for Euro-Atlantic Studies and International Security at the IAMP Diplomatic Academy, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia. - In Britain, anti-European sentiments have always been strong. She did not take part in the formation of the European integration process, unlike France. Her insular position has always played a role. Britain received exemptions in a number of EU activities and sometimes did not participate in it. Plus, she often blocked the initiatives of France and Germany, aimed at the development of the integration process. France belonged to the countries-European enthusiasts ”.
The reason for the growth of frexit-mood was the expansion of the European Union, because the French had a fear for jobs. Influenced by these sentiments and the migration crisis, and terrorism. The expert also points to the eurozone debt crisis. Meanwhile, anti-European sentiment in France is not as strong as in the UK. According to experts, Marine Le Pen support the entire 30 or, at best, 35% of the population. This is not enough to win the election.
Polls about France regarding future elections confirm the findings of experts. Marine Le Pen is behind his main rival - F. Fillon.
Sociological company "Ipsos Sopra Steria" published in December the results of a survey commissioned by "Le Mond" and the Metropolitan SciencesPo University, writes Eurasia Daily.
The survey involved a huge number of respondents - 18.013 people (18 times more than usual). The head of the "National Front" lost on the results of Francois Fillon. The latter can get 26-29% of votes, and Marine Le Pen, according to the survey, 24-25%. Moreover, its popularity has fallen by 3,5 percent. point compared with the previous survey "Ipsos" (was conducted in November).
Recall the presidential election in France will be held in the spring of 2017. Despite the lagging behind Fillon, Marine Le Pen is today considered one of the possible "favorites" of the election race.
