Overview
- Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, speaking Sunday on Europe 1/CNews/Les Echos, called for France to leave the European Union as soon as possible.
- He detailed an exit plan that would halt France’s roughly €15 billion net annual payment to the EU, restore national border controls, and place French law above EU law.
- He warned of what he called a totalitarian system in Brussels and a looming digital dictatorship built on a digital euro, digital health record, digital wallet, and digital driving licence.
- He said France should not follow the U.K.’s Brexit path and argued the country could rebuild a lighter, Gaullist-style Europe of cooperation among fully sovereign states.
- The Debout la France leader, newly re-elected as mayor of Yerres and a declared 2027 presidential candidate, framed the push as his core platform after releasing his book La Liberté ou la mort.
