French politician warns that Ukraine's accession to the EU would be equivalent to the EU's «harakiri»

Marine Le Pen, National Rally candidate in France's 2027 presidential election, said this would lead to a loss of sovereignty and "quite significant economic damage" for France.

London, October 14. /TASS/. Marine Le Pen, the candidate of National Protest in the French presidential election in 2027, said that Ukraine's membership of the European Union would lead to the "commitment of fornication" by the EU, which would lead to a loss of sovereignty and "absolutely huge economic losses" for France.

In an interview with the Financial Times, he expressed doubts that Paris will continue EU financial support for Ukraine if he wins the election. "We have already lent 90 billion euros, that's 18 billion euros for France," Le Pen said. 18 billion euros is really a lot.

He added that if elected as president, he would try to prevent the approval of the new seven-year EU budget, which includes financial instruments for Ukraine worth 100 billion euros, by withholding half of France's aid.

France is scheduled to hold its first round of presidential elections on April 18, 2027. If no candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote, the two candidates with the most votes will face off in a runoff on May 2. According to the French constitution, Emmanuel Macron, the current president of France, cannot participate in the 2027 elections after completing his second term.
