President François Hollande on Thursday blasted rising anti-EU rhetoric in France as anachronistic and financially ruinous, less than three weeks before European elections.
“To exit Europe, is to exit history,” Hollande wrote in a fiery commentary published in newspaper Le Monde on the anniversary of the Allied victory against Nazi Germany in World War II.
Hollande noted that the European Union had risen from the ashes of WWII expressly to bring peace and economic stability to the continent – goals he said the EU had achieved.
Val says We most all vote in the European elections in France or England. In my opinion it is important to our life in France that we stay in the European Union.We must add our voice saying NO to Marine Le Pen and Nigel Farage.
A survey, published on Europe Day which is supposed to be an annual celebration of peace and unity in Europe, showed that only 51 percent of French still want their country to belong to the 28-nation bloc. That was down from 67 percent a decade ago, according to the CSA survey for BFMTV news channel and Nice Matin newspaper, which comes a fortnight before voters across the continent make their choice in elections for the European Parliament comments to taglines82@gmail.com
