Speaking to far-right leaders from Germany, France, Italy, and the Netherlands in Koblenz, Germany, Le Pen said: “We are witnessing the end of one world and the birth of another. I am not saying that every country must leave the euro zone… However, we must leave open the possibility if a country wants to leave.” She also expressed her desire for “border control, monetary independence, and restoring a voice to the people.”
