The former Ukip leader said Emmanuel Macron wanted the European Union to be “even stronger” and said it was in the UK’s interest for Ms Le Pen to defy the polls and emerge victorious.
Speaking on his LBC show, the MEP said a victory for Ms Le Pen next month would be good for the UK with Eurocrats “lining up to try and punish Britain” over Brexit.
He said: “My final thought on this, and it won’t surprise any of you, is of course, I see Macron as the enemy!
“He’s the enemy of nation-state democracy, he believes in the European project he wants France to give away more power, he wants Brussels to be even stronger and I can’t see that it’s in our interests when the Junckers and others are all lining up to try and punish Britain.
“And whatever the sins of the past of Le Pen and callers tonight saying she is her father’s daughter so she must be guilty which I reject completely.”
The comments come as Ms Le Pen announced she will be temporarily stepping down as the leader of her Front National party less than 24 hours after she reached the second round of the French presidential election.
She said: “I am no longer the president of the Front National, I am a candidate of the presidential election.
“I will be above partisan considerations, and I think this is an important move.”
