‘I don’t know if it reassured or worried them’: European envoys quiz Le Pen over lunch

European ambassadors in Paris engaged Marine Le Pen in discussions about her vision for France and the EU during a recent lunch. The meeting, held at the Hôtel de Beauharnais, focused on her proposed EU reforms. Le Pen aims to reduce the size of EU institutions, transform the European Commission into a less powerful secretariat, and significantly decrease France's financial contributions to the EU budget. She is currently leading in polls for the upcoming 2027 elections.
