The potential victory of candidates challenging the current European structure in the 2027 French presidential elections could threaten the EU's existence. Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin warns that if Marine Le Pen or Jean-Luc Mélenchon win, it would radically alter France's relationship with the EU. Darmanin emphasizes the need for a pro-European president to strengthen the EU's global role. He criticizes the focus of French political debates on pensions and healthcare, urging a shift towards future-oriented discussions. Both Le Pen and Mélenchon advocate for significant cuts to France's EU budget contributions, which could lead to conflicts with Brussels.
