Giving less money to Europe: is Marine Le Pen's proposal realistic?

Marine Le Pen proposes reducing France's financial contribution to the EU by nearly 60 billion euros to alleviate budget constraints. This plan, part of her party's debt reduction strategy, aims to weaken Brussels' bureaucracy while addressing domestic financial needs. However, the reality of EU contributions is complex, as they are essential for the functioning of EU institutions. France's contribution has indeed increased significantly, projected to reach 31 billion euros by 2027, marking a 35% rise compared to previous budgets. Le Pen argues that this increase necessitates urgent negotiation for a reduction.
