Sensing a threat to the ideal of a united Europe, French President Emmanuel Macron addressed the “citizens of Europe” directly in an open letter published last week in 28 languages, saying the EU faces an “urgent” threat ahead of upcoming European parliamentary elections.
Brexit is one example of the "urgent" threats the European Union is facing today, Macron wrote.
"It symbolises the crisis of Europe, which has failed to respond to its peoples’ needs for protection from the major shocks of the modern world."

The leaders of France’s left- and right-wing parties reacted with scathing editorials of their own over the weekend to a public appeal for a European “renaissance."
Laurent Wauquiez, leader of the right-wing Les Républicains party, said:
“If France truly wants to rebuild Europe, it must first renew itself. Our calamitous economic management, our inability to reform and reduce the excesses of public expenditure, make France the sick man of Europe,” Wauquiez wrote. “And it is unthinkable that our partners would accept lessons from a president who is, this year, the leader of the country with the highest public deficit in the entire euro area.”
“If France wants to rebuild Europe, it must start by cleaning its own house.”
Far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who heads the France Insoumise (France Unbowed) party, also accused Macron of repeating the same tired tropes... saying:
The French president addressed Europeans using a torrent of “clichés” peppered with “Russophobic paranoia”.
In an op-ed calling for France to withdraw from EU treaties – bluntly titled, “Get out of the treaties, Stupid!” – Mélenchon wrote:
“All our ecological and social miseries have their origin in the content of these treaties.”

The puppets are losing their strings, I beg of you please we need brexit and the EU so I can continue to live lavishly while importing invaders to rape and murder you and your family
I’m thinking Devils Island would be a more appropriate destination.
28 languages?
Yeah, that’s going to work out.
One good thing about the EU - it forces millions of people to learn English.
It’s like he wants his side to lose, should be downplaying the globalist stuff.
Ladies & gentlemen, meet the antichrist. If you have any doubt, just ask Pope FRANCIS. The FALSE PROPHET of Revelation.
Ooh ooh ooh!
I know the answer!

Television and movies do that too.
The Italians want to be Italian,
The French want to be French,
The Hungarians want to be Hungarian,
Etc. Etc.
NOne of the real folks want to be E.U.
Except the one worlders.
They are ok with being Hungarian and European. in every EU country they feel both. It’s not an “either-or” — it’s like being American and Bostonian, only more with the national sense.
