Marine Le Pen, visiting Budapest, strongly criticized the European Union's "ideological brutality" and supported the Hungarian ultraconservative leader Viktor Orban who received her on Tuesday.

"The Hungary of 2021, under your leadership, is once again at the forefront of the fight for the freedom of peoples," declared the candidate for the French presidency at a joint press conference with the Hungarian Prime Minister.

Support from France if elected

"In this month of October, the moment as the circumstances can only inspire in us a thought moved for the heroes of the uprising of 1956", she underlined in reference to the revolt against the communist regime of the time supported by the Soviet Union. Saluting the "courage" and "determination" of the Hungarian Prime Minister, she made "the commitment", if she is elected head of state next year, to "provide her with the support of France and her people to reorient a European Union whose ideological brutality threatens the very idea of ​​sovereignty ".

Marine Le Pen refused to criticize the recent Hungarian anti-LGBT + law, at the center of a legal standoff with Brussels: "as I am fundamentally attached to the sovereignty of each of the nations, it would not occur to me to come and give lessons to the Hungarian people, ”she said.

Criticizing a "centralized power in Brussels intoxicated with its own existence, with its power and its omnipotence", the candidate of the National Rally denounced a "will to enslave" the European Union and refused any principle of primacy of European law.

"Reform the French Constitution by referendum to act on the principle of its superiority"

"This principle could only be imposed by maneuvers" and the Polish courts "are completely justified in asserting (...) their right to fix and enforce the founding rules of their national pact, of their social pact and even their societal pact, "said Marine Le Pen. According to her "the threats of sanctions, and a fortiori of exclusion, which are of rare violence against Hungary or Poland, testify to the stake of the debate which opens" because "the the european union knows very well that it is playing it all here ".

Repeating her commitment to "reform the French Constitution by referendum to act on the principle of its superiority", she stressed that this would also include "the complete settlement of the question of immigration, this scourge from which our nations must imperatively protect themselves".

On this subject, she denounced the "migratory flooding that the European Union wants to organize" whose "disastrous effects" are being felt "at the level of identity, financial or territorial".
