Voters who are angry at the political establishment have said a civil war is on the cards if France does not break away from the European Union.
The French presidential election is fast approaching, with two candidates advocating a Frexit gaining the most ground in recent days.
Both left-wing Jean-Luc Melenchon and right-wing Marine Le Pen are pushing for a campaign to leave the European project.
Several voters in the historically industrial town of Amiens told German channel DW that they were backing Marine Le Pen so she could take back control over their borders.
One young worker said he was voting for the Front National because they were the only party with answers to France’s growing unemployment, which sits just over 10 per cent.
But, he warned, the country may need to fight on the streets for their freedom from the European Union.
The young man told DW: “Leaving the euro will hurt at first and make a lot of people very angry. It could even trigger a civil war to get there.
“But, something has to be done, and that includes returning to the Franc.”
Mrs Le Pen’s political platform has called for protectionist policies in order to boost the French economy.
