Leading French populist Marion Maréchal has lamented Europe’s loss of independence in various spheres and warned mass migration could lead to it being effectively transformed into another country.
“I wake up at 34 years old in a European Union which has become a digital colony of the United States, an economic colony of China, [and] a demographic colony of Africa,” she said, adding that it is also “on the way to becoming a colony of Islam.”
Muslims accounted for around a tenth of the French population as of 2019-20. France has also suffered more radical Islamic terror attacks than any other European country, including the November 2015 attacks in Paris that saw 130 murdered and over 410 injured in a series of suicide bombings and mass shootings, and the July 2016 attacks in Nice that saw 86 killed and over 430 wounded by a North African migrant driving a heavy truck.
Maréchal is the niece of Marine Le Pen, the longtime leader of National Rally (formerly National Front) who contended for the French presidency in 2012, 2017, and 2022.
Maréchal served as a National Assembly member — roughly equivalent to a U.S. House Rep. — for National Rally from 2012 to 2017, but is now a candidate for Reconquest, a rival populist party headed by “French Tucker Carlson” Éric Zemmour.
Je me réveille à 34 ans dans une Union européenne qui est devenue :
👉 une colonie numérique des États-Unis,
👉 une colonie économique de la Chine,
👉 une colonie démographique de l’Afrique,
👉 en passe de devenir une colonie de l’Islam.#VotezMarion pic.twitter.com/2cAKxe5Dfs— Marion Maréchal (@MarionMarechal) March 19, 2024
