The former prime minister of great Britain David Cameron said today that if elected Marine le pen to the French presidency in the elections of May 2017 will be “a heavy blow” to Europe and expressed the hope to be elected a candidate of one of the traditional parties.
Cameron said that the recent rise of “αντισυστημικών populist” and “enough of extremist political parties” in western Europe does not mark the end of globalisation, but warned of the necessity to carry out a “major correction” to address the economic and cultural challenges.
“If France elected Marine le pen, this would clearly be a very big blow to the european project,” said at a conference organized by the newspaper Hindustan Times in New Delhi.
As he said, the demand and the benefits from free trade, the free movement of people, expertise, technology and innovation are not lost. “But we need to understand in depth the things that have happened that have caused the events which you have seen in Europe and the rest of the world the last time,” he added.
Cameron resigned as prime minister in June after the defeat of the referendum on the eve or not of the country in the EU where it was Not.
He reiterated the important value of the residence in the country in the EU. “I still think it would be better if Britain stayed in the EU. Our neighbors, our partners, our friends, our allies, and I wanted to stay in the room when decisions are taken that affect us and our continent”.
