Le Pen wants to abolish the diplomatic service of the European Union.
Marine Le Pen plans to eliminate or drastically cut the European External Action Service (EEAS), headed by Caja Callas, if she wins the French presidential election in 2027.
The National Assembly sees the EEAS as an expensive bureaucratic layer that duplicates national foreign ministries. Counsel Charles-Henri Gallois said that the practical use of Callas is limited, as its authority is not recognized in Washington and Beijing.
However, dismantling the service requires EU-wide agreement, not just French action.
