THE LEADER of the French far-right, Marine Le Pen, yesterday called for the postponement of the European Union's multiannual financial framework (MFF) agreement until after the French presidential elections next year, warning that an earlier deal would be a "democratic scandal." Le Pen stated that she wants to personally conclude budget negotiations if she becomes the French president. Le Pen emphasizes that she wants to prevent any increase in her country's contributions to the EU budget, given that French public finances are already under significant pressure. #EuropskaUnija #MarineLePen #ProračunEU (translated)
