Marine Le Pen delivered a speech in Paris to thousands of her National Rally party supporters, who chanted “Macron, resignation!” as she spoke.
She denounced Macron and the EU as agents of globalisation with contempt for ordinary people.
She also said the European Parliament elections in May ought to be a referendum on whether Macron stays in office.
“If Macron does not have the wisdom to go back to the people by dissolving parliament, then let the political arbitrage come from European elections,” she said.
“The European Union as it stands is a menace to our identity and to our security,” she added, while praising the Yellow Vests as a “healthy popular revolt”. The battle is now between nationalists and globalists,” she concluded.
At the same time Macron published a letter in French newspapers.
In the letter he called for a “national debate” on reform over the next two months, leading to a new “contract for the nation” that he would draft by mid-April.
“This is how I intend, with you, to transform anger into solutions. If everyone is being aggressive to everyone else, society falls apart,” he said.
