France's far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen says the European Union will “die” and she vows to save France from globalization.

Fans cheer for Marine Le Pen, French National Front (FN) political party leader and candidate for French 2017 presidential election, during a political rally in Lille, France, March 26, 2017. "It must be done in a rational, well-prepared way," she said in interview with Le Parisien daily. "I don't want chaos. Within the negotiation calendar I want to carry out ... the euro would be the last step because I want to wait for the outcome of elections in Germany in the autumn before renegotiating it," she added.
Recent opinion polls suggest that the far-right leader is likely to win the first round of France's election on April 23, but would lose in the run-off on May 7.
Le Pen, well known for her anti-immigrant rhetoric, became the leader of the party in 2011 and has promised to hold a referendum on France’s exit from the EU.
She launched her election bid in February with an anti-Islam stance. She has also noted that if she is elected as president, mosques and places of Islamic teaching will be closed down.
