Marine Le Pen has promised, if she wins the 2027 election, to seek the elimination or radical reduction of the European Union's diplomatic service headed by Kaja Callas, Politico writes.
The National Assembly party sees the department as an expensive bureaucratic superstructure that prevents countries from conducting an independent foreign policy.
According to Jordan Bardel's advisor, Charles-Henri Gallois, the usefulness of Callas' work is minimal, and her authority is not recognized either in Washington or Beijing.
However, the publication states that the dissolution of the service will require the consent of the entire European Union.
