The president of the National Rally, Marine Le Pen, said Tuesday that the European Union was "the first death of the coronavirus", because of "its total inability to bring the slightest solidarity" to its members, affected by the pandemic, on RT.
"The European Union, first death of the coronavirus!", Affirmed Mrs. Le Pen, because she "demonstrated her total incapacity to bring the least reaction, the least solidarity, the least aid", to her member countries.
"Even worse, she gave instructions, which were deadly instructions," urging "European nations not to limit the movement of people," she added.
"This is extremely serious, because the first thing that we do when we are confronted with a human, plant or animal epidemic is obviously to immediately control the borders to prevent the spread of the epidemic".
According to her, "the EU has said the opposite because it is an ideologist. Free movement is a religion. Even death does not succeed in convincing its leaders that it is obviously necessary, for a given period, to close the borders to prevent people from regions affected by the virus from coming and spreading it. This is exactly what has happened in Europe. "
After the crisis, "I believe that the European Union will learn nothing from it, for a simple reason: it does not think rationally".
"But the European nations themselves, will very probably have learned from this crisis that globalization is not happy, learned that it is necessary to keep strategic states. It is the end of the new world that Emmanuel Macron touted, even before he was able to get it started, "she also said.
