Europe
French politician Philippot says country needs to leave EU
2024-12-30
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] French politician, leader of the opposition movement "Patriots" Florian Philippot called on France to leave the European Union after the ruling of the EU Court, according to which the country is obliged to pay family benefits to families of illegal immigrants.

"The European Court of Justice has ordered France to pay family benefits to families of illegal immigrants. And yet their presence in France is illegal... Let us remember that this right is above any of our national rights, including the French Constitution! When will we get out of this madhouse?!" Filippo wrote on his page on the social network X.

He noted that the only way to maintain control over the situation is Frexit - France's exit from the European Union. Filippo also called hypocrites those who condemn the described situation, but do not call for France to leave the EU.
But thus far leaving has not been permitted, no matter how devoutly the populace might desire it.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, earlier Filippo called on France to leave the EU in order to save its agriculture. In his opinion, such a step must be taken due to the European Commission's plans to speed up the adoption of a free trade agreement between the EU and Mercosur.
…a regional economic group of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela, founded in 1991.
Filippo recalled that this decision was announced in Brussels at the height of farmers' protests in Europe. He called for the EU to be liquidated before it destroys the French economy.

#4  Irrelevant but not off-base regarding this issue. The requirement to make per Dien payments to squatters is nonsensical.

#3  He's a completely irrelevant politician of a completely irrelevant radical party (less than 0.5% in elections).

Not irrelevant enough for Russia, of course, who will warmly recommend anything anti-EU.
