Quotes from Marine Le Pen

I do not stop repeating it to French Jews... Not only is the National Front not your enemy, but it is without a doubt the best shield to protect you. It stands at your side for the defense of our freedoms of thought and of religion against the only real enemy: Islamist fundamentalism.

Russia is a European country, and so we'd better, if we want a powerful Europe, negotiate with Russia.

I will be Madame Frexit if the European Union doesn't give us back our monetary, legislative, territorial, and budget sovereignty.

Everyone understands the European Union is a failure. It has not kept any of its promises - in particular about prosperity, security - and, worst of all, has put us under a guardianship.

Brexit wasn't the European people's first cry of revolt. In 2005, France and the Netherlands held referendums about the proposed European Union constitution. In both countries, opposition was massive, and other governments decided on the spot to halt the experiment for fear the contagion might spread.

The European Union has become a prison of peoples. Each of the 28 countries that constitute it has slowly lost its democratic prerogatives to commissions and councils with no popular mandate. Every nation in the union has had to apply laws it did not want for itself.

Do we want a multicultural society, following the model of the English-speaking world, where fundamental Islam is progressing and we see major religious claims, or do we want an independent nation, with people able to control their own destiny, or do we accept to be a region managed by the technocrats of the European Union?

It's unbearable to see the people betrayed time and again by politicians who don't keep their promises and by the technocrats at the European Union.

I would go to the European institutions, I would demand for the French people four sovereignties: territorial - our borders; monetary and budgetary; economic; and legislative.

Brexit has really broken a taboo. The Brits have shown us that you can leave the European Union, and you can come out better.

If I don't manage to negotiate with the European Union, something I wish, then I will ask the French to leave the European Union. And then you'll be able to call me Madame Frexit.

Was the Soviet Union reformable? I would say no. They said, 'Okay, the Soviet Union isn't working.' They would say, 'No, it's great. We just need democracy, political pluralism, private property.' And then there was no Soviet Union. The European Union is the same.

Those who came to France came to find France, not to turn it into their country of origin. If that's what they wanted, they should've stayed in their country.

If there's one thing that chafes French pride, it's seeing the British steal the limelight.

It does our Muslim compatriots no favors to fuel suspicions and leave things unspoken.

The petty logic of political parties cannot be allowed to stifle the French people's legitimate aspirations to safety and liberty.

My dear compatriots, I'm not interested in your race, your origin, your sexual orientation. What interests me is your happiness.

In France, we respect women: we don't beat them; we don't ask them to hide themselves behind a veil as if they were impure.

I am opposed to a multicultural France. I think that those who have a different culture and who arrive in France have to submit themselves to French culture.
