When, in 2015, Greece decided by referendum to reject Brussels' austerity plans, the European Union's antidemocratic response took no one by surprise: To deny the people's will had become a habit.

I do not have the slightest bit of confidence in the European Union to protect the borders of the European Union.

I will be Madame Frexit if the European Union doesn't give us back our monetary, legislative, territorial, and budget sovereignty.

The European Union has become a prison of peoples. Each of the 28 countries that constitute it has slowly lost its democratic prerogatives to commissions and councils with no popular mandate. Every nation in the union has had to apply laws it did not want for itself.

If I don't manage to negotiate with the European Union, something I wish, then I will ask the French to leave the European Union. And then you'll be able to call me Madame Frexit.

Brexit has really broken a taboo. The Brits have shown us that you can leave the European Union, and you can come out better.
