- “I note the the polls but believe me, once there is a proper debate, people won’t be in favor. There has never been a debate about the euro in France, because if you criticize it you are accused of blasphemy; some are attached to it in an almost religious way.”
- Le Pen in an interview with Le Parisien newspaper: "“I don’t want chaos, it needs to be done carefully,”
