The EU is deeply harmful, it is an anti-democratic monster. I want to prevent it from becoming fatter, from continuing to breathe, from grabbing everything with its paws and from extending its tentacles into all areas of our legislation. In our glorious history, millions have died to ensure that our country remains free. Today, we are simply allowing our right to self-determination to be stolen from us.
Marine Le PenWe don't have a lot of Sikhs in France. We've got some. But we don't really hear much from them or about them. Which is good news.
Marine Le PenIf I didn't believe that we had a chance of coming to power, then I would have focused on taking care of my three children or gardening.
Marine Le PenThe French want to regain control of their own country. They want to determine the course of their own economy and their immigration policies. They want their own laws to take precedence over those of the European Union.
Marine Le PenThe crisis in Ukraine is all the European Union's fault. Its leaders negotiated a trade deal with Ukraine, which essentially blackmailed the country to choose between Europe and Russia.
Marine Le PenEurope is war. Economic war. It is the increase of hostilities between the countries. Germans are denigrated as being cruel, the Greeks as fraudsters, the French as lazy. Ms. Merkel can't travel to any European country without being protected by hundreds of police. That is not brotherhood.
Marine Le PenI want to destroy the EU, not Europe! I believe in a Europe of nation-states. I believe in Airbus and Ariane, in a Europe based on cooperation. But I don't want this European Soviet Union.
Marine Le PenIf we don't all leave the euro behind, it will explode. Either there will be a popular revolt because the people no longer want to be bled out. Or the Germans will say: Stop, we can't pay for the poor anymore.
Marine Le PenI know very well that the political classes have spread fear among the electorate: Without the euro, the sun will cease shining, the rivers will stop flowing, we will enter an ice age.
Marine Le PenIt is my responsibility to make sure that the fear is overcome… “This attack must instead free our speech about Islamic fundamentalism. We must not be silenced.
Marine Le PenWhenever I hear people utter anti-German sentiments, I say: You can't blame Germany for defending its own interests.
Marine Le PenI place the blame with our own leaders who are not defending our interests. A strong euro is ruining our economy.
Marine Le PenAngela Merkel can't travel to any European country without being protected by hundreds of police. That is not brotherhood.
Marine Le PenTrade has always existed, but we used to defend our strategic interests. Could you imagine the United States allowing French engineering giant Alstom to purchase General Electric? I don't think so.
Marine Le PenWe have no lesson to teach Russia if we concurrently roll out the red carpet to Qatar, Saudi Arabia and China.
Marine Le PenThe problem is the total opening of borders and allowing the law of the jungle to prevail: The further a company goes today to find slaves, which it then treats like animals and pays a pittance, without regard for environmental laws, the more it earns.
Marine Le PenManuel Valls is popular because the others in the government are unpopular. Interior ministers are always popular because they give people the feeling that they are taking care of security, even when they are just people with tough words and a soft hand.
Marine Le PenAngela Merkel wants to impose her policies on others. This will lead to an explosion of the European Union.
Marine Le PenI'll tell you what the danger is for Europe. It's carrying out a cold war against Russia and pushing Russia into China's arms. That's the threat to Europe.
Marine Le PenI don't believe Vladimir Putin is a killer, a threat to France, to others in this region. Nothing Vladimir Putin has done would make me reach that conclusion.
Marine Le PenIt is undeniable that the French were in a better situation in 1960s then than they are today in 2017. I don't look in the rearview mirror. But there was no need for us to experience an end to social progress since then.
Marine Le PenCongratulations to Donald Trump, the new president of the United States - and to the people of America, who are free.
Marine Le PenImmigration is an organized replacement of our population. This threatens our very survival. We don't have the means to integrate those who are already here. The result is endless cultural conflict.
Marine Le PenGlobalization means using slaves to manufacture products that are then sold to the unemployed!
Marine Le PenOur political class no longer has any convictions. You can only pass along the beliefs that you hold. They no longer believe in France - they have a post-national worldview. I call them France-skeptics. That's why democracy is collapsing here in France.
Marine Le PenI'm not a fan in a rock concert, you see. I am a political leader in a great nation of the world. What interests me are France's interests.
Marine Le PenI do not support Putin against Europe. This is a caricature. I support a federalist Ukraine. The EU poured fuel on the fire by proposing an economic partnership to a country known to look half to the East and half to the West.
Marine Le PenGlobalization has become an ideology with no constraints. And now, nations are forcing themselves back into the debate. Nations with borders we control, with people that we listen to, with real economies, not Wall Street economies, but rather factories and farmers. And this goes against this unregulated globalization, wild, savage globalization.
Marine Le PenEverybody should be able to choose according to his own values and history, within a European civilization that we all belong to.
Marine Le PenI have a certain admiration for Vladimir Putin because he doesn't allow decisions to be forced upon him by other countries. I think he focuses first and foremost on what is good for Russia and the Russians. As such, I have the same respect for Putin that I do for Ms. Merkel.
Marine Le PenIt's because of this massive immigration and more in some places, (that) France's image has undeniably changed. There are a number of neighborhoods where you are no longer living a French life. That's undeniable.
Marine Le PenMy warning is: Be careful Angela Merkel. If you don't see the suffering that has been imposed on the rest of the European people, then Germany will make itself hated.
Marine Le PenI'm opposed to wearing headscarves in public places. That's not France. There's something I just don't understand: the people who come to France, why would they want to change France, to live in France the same way they lived back home?
Marine Le PenThe Americans are trying to expand their influence in the world, particularly in Europe. They are defending their own interests, not ours. I am in favor of a multi-polar world in which France once again takes its position as the leader of non-aligned states, not with the US, not with Russia and not with Germany. One should strive to be neither slave nor master.
Marine Le PenI have respect for leaders who defend the interests of their countries. Angela Merkel policies are positive for Germany, but they are unfortunately harmful for all other countries.
Marine Le PenI think a lot of people are trying to scare immigrants. But in reality, they have nothing to fear. You know, people who behave need not worry. Foreigners in France who hold a job, who respect our laws, our codes, have absolutely nothing to worry about.
Marine Le PenThe Americans are trying to expand their influence in the world, particularly in Europe. They are defending their own interests, not ours.
