France's election and the EU

Available for over a year

France's future in the European Union has been one of the topics in the candidates' minds throughout the presidential election campaign, with Front National's Marine Le Pen going as far as promising a referendum on the country's membership. In Strasbourg, one of the homes of the European Parliament, Newsday's Julian Keane spoke to Front National supporters to find out why they have such a problem with the EU. He also met the so-called "mainstream parties" trying to challenge those views. Photo: The flag of the European Union pictured at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
