The French
far-right leader Marine Le Pen, whose National Rally party is the biggest
single opposition party in the French parliament, congratulated Geert Wilders.
Le Pen
described Wilders’ Party for Freedom (PVV) as an ally with her party in the
European parliament, telling France Inter radio that Wilders’ election
performance showed that “more and more countries at the heart of the EU are
contesting the way it works ... and want us to master immigration, which is
seen by many European peoples as massive and totally anarchic today”.
She said
Wilders’ positions on Europe raised the question of what Europe had become: “An
obese, technocratic structure that moves forward by sanctions and threats.”
Asked if
she backed Wilders’ outrageous style of politics, she said that wasn’t up to
her, the parties were different. She said he had sometimes used shock tactics:
“That’s his method, that’s his way”.
Le Pen said
she felt he had “evolved” on that and that his results were the consequence of
a kind of “normalisation”.
The French
finance minister, Bruno Le Maire, told Franceinfo radio that Wilders’ showing
was a consequence of “all the fears that are emerging in Europe” over
immigration and the economy.
But he also
said: “The Netherlands are not France.”
