'If Emmanuel Macron spends less time on the world stage now and more time healing his country's domestic politics, they will not begrudge his absence, least of all in London.' Analysis from Sky's DominicWaghorn 👇
But she seemed intent on reforming or undermining the EU from within. Her plans to give French nationals preference in benefits would have set her on a collision course with the EU and its single market.
She would have sought alliances with illiberal governments like Poland and Hungary over Germany. All this would have been fatal for the European Union, say her critics. But it is her affinity with Russia and its leader Vladimir Putin that would arguably have done the most harm to the world order. She condoned Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and although she criticised its invasion of Ukraine she has said Europe should restore relations with Russia once it is over.A president Le Pen would have pulled France out of the NATO integrated command structure.
Britain may have had its differences with Emmanuel Macron, resenting his freelance diplomacy over Ukraine perhaps and wanting him to do more to stop migrants crossing the channel. But the radical changes a Le Pen government would have wrought would not have been welcome in London. Allies will have been worried by the deep-seated anger and divisions exposed in this election and concerned by the steadily improving fortunes of the far right in France. If Emmanuel Macron spends less time on the world stage now and more time healing his country's domestic politics, they will not begrudge his absence, least of all in London.
