Marine Le Pen: the far-right candidate’s policies could do enormous damage, undermining EU solidarity and unity. Picture: Getty
The outcome of the French presidential election today is as important to us in Ireland as were the recent US and British elections. If Marine Le Pen were to achieve a shock victory, then the EU would come under enormous threat from within. The far-right candidate may no longer be talking of France leaving the euro or even the EU, but her policies could do enormous damage, undermining EU solidarity and unity.
cooper_m Won't be Le Pen. The upcoming sanctions affecting EU citizens will be kept off the table till Macron has his feet under it. Like Kamal said ... you get what you vote for ;-)
