Marine Le Pen, the defacto leader of the French farright National Rally party, is convinced that Ukraine cannot be promised membership in NATO and the European Union, as the former was the cause of Russian aggression and is rejected by the United States, while the latter is not beneficial to the EU itself.
Source Marine Le Pen on 3 March during a speech at the French National Assembly, as reported by European Pravda Details Le Pen believes that Ukraine deserves realistic support from the European Union.
Promising the country accession to NATO and the EU would be a deception or pose a serious risk to peace on the European continent.
Quote from Le Pen There is no doubt that we must support Ukraine to remain sovereign and free.
But we must do so with realism and with our own national interests in mind, not just with loud statements without real facts.
Understanding reality, first and foremost, means recognising that we cannot promise Ukraine NATO membership because we know that this prospect served as a justification for Russian aggression and is now clearly rejected by the United States.
Likewise, Ukraines accession to the European Union is undoubtedly contrary to our interests.
This membership would cost France billions of euros, create new distortions of competition in the labour market, significantly affect our social model, and its primary consequence would almost certainly be the destruction of our farmers their business ed..
Support for this dual membership in NATO and the EU ed.
looks either a deception or a serious risk to peace and our interests.
Background In February, Le Pen and other farright leaders included in the thirdlargest European Parliament grouping, Patriots for Europe, participated in a largescale meeting in Madrid under the slogan Make Europe Great Again.
