Marine Le Pen has moved a long way from her original plan to leave the EU, although the Macron camp believes that is her ultimate plan. “Nobody is against Europe,” she said after the first round. And yet in 2012, she was in favour of pulling France out of the EU, a stance which was then dropped that in 2017 and said she wanted to leave the euro instead. “Now she says she wants to stay within the European Union but change it from the inside, to achieve a Europe of sovereign nations,” says Sylvie Kaufmann of French newspaper Le Monde.
