EU:s politiska elit har blundat för folklig oro
Jens Sörensen
Den 29 mars begärde Storbritannien formellt utträde ur EU. Förhandlingarna kan bli svåra och långdragna, men om vi nu har hämtat oss efter brexit-chocken kan vi se fram emot presidentvalet i Frankrike i maj. En seger för Marine Le Pen innebär sannolikt slutet för EU eftersom ett av hennes vallöften är franskt utträde. Ett EU utan Frankrike och Storbritannien skulle bestå av ett tyskt nav med en rad satellitstater och är knappast tänkbart.
