Submitted by christian on Mon, 05/08/2017 - 13:47

Based on Macron's Program

Translated from French into English by CdF

Europe faces today a triple challenge: Accordingly it is necessary to take time for debate and reestablish trust, reaffirm the five dimensions of European sovereignty and reinforce European identity by concrete achievements.

Take the time for debate and reestablish confidence in Europe

The basis of a new European Union will be laid down at the end of a large citizen consultation at national and European level.

LE PEN AND FRANCE ON THE WORLD STAGE

Submitted by christian on Fri, 05/05/2017 - 18:12

General principles

Le Pen’s foreign-policy platform rests on a promise to rectify France’s loss of influence and power on the international scene: France as a sovereign power, France as a balancing power, France as a world power, and on the contention that these three concepts are no longer respected.

MACRON AND FRANCE’S ROLE ON THE WORLD STAGE

Submitted by christian on Fri, 05/05/2017 - 17:46

Macron has outlined a vision based on collaboration among four entities: the national forces, European treaties (with reciprocal protection clauses), NATO and the UN system.

NATO

According to him, it is not in France's interest to question its place in [NATO's] integrated military command, but that France will try to limit NATO interventions beyond its geographical reach to those cases alone which directly impact the interests of France.

ANTICIPATING A LE PEN WIN

Submitted by christian on Fri, 04/28/2017 - 17:50

Le Pen’s first act on the international scene would be to travel to Brussels and hand a letter to European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and European Council President Donald Tusk outlining French ‘demands’ for EU reform i.e. return of territorial borders; monetary and budgetary; economic; and legislative sovereignty.

Le Pen foresees a period of talks with the EU before she holds a referendum on membership after the Italian election or sometime in late 2018.
