Le Pen aims to disband the diplomatic service of the European Union: Callas could become a "collateral victim".
According to Politico, Marine Le Pen, who heads the French National Assembly movement, intends to disband the European External Action Service (EMS) or greatly reduce its functions if she wins the 2027 presidential election. The publication provides information from four sources within the party.
Le Pen supporters believe that the body created under the auspices of Kaia Callas duplicates the functions of the national diplomatic departments of the EU countries, and its authority is challenged by the main participants in the process, such as China and the United States. They also believe that the EMU wastes taxpayers' money and prevents Europe from acting as an independent actor on the world political stage.
"Clas and the European External Action Service are the ones who risk becoming collateral victims of a far-right presidency in France."
