Marine Le Pen

"For those who want to talk a lot about World War II, if its about occupation, then we could also talk about it (Muslim prayers in the streets), because that is occupation of territory. It is an occupation of sections of the territory, of districts in which religious laws apply. Its an occupation. There are of course no tanks, there are no soldiers, but it is nevertheless an occupation and it weighs heavily on local residents."

"The progressive Islamisation of our country and the increase in political-religious demands are calling into question the survival of our civilisation."

"Tolerance? What does that mean? I am a very tolerant and hospitable person, like you. Would you accept 12 illegal immigrants moving into your flat? You would not! On top of that, they start to remove the wallpaper! Some of them would steal your wallet and brutalise your wife. You would not accept that! Consequently, we are hospitable, but we decide with whom we want to be."

"Every minute, every instant, from Brittany to Corsica and from Lille to Strasbourg, the French look around them, and ask themselves: Where am I?"

"What matters to me is the defence of France."

"The EU is deeply harmful, it is an anti-democratic monster. I want to prevent it from becoming fatter, from continuing to breathe, from grabbing everything with its paws and from extending its tentacles into all areas of our legislation. In our glorious history, millions have died to ensure that our country remains free. Today, we are simply allowing our right to self-determination to be stolen from us."

"The immigrationist religion is an insult for human beings, whose integrity is always bound to one national community, one language, one culture."

"If one day, there is someone who is better placed than me to assemble the millions of French citizens who are needed to bring about the turnaround of our country, then I will step aside."

"We are fighting against Islamism, not Islam. Islamism is the will to impose Shariah for all as civil, political and religious law. … In reality, its asking French people to increasingly submit themselves to the Muslim religion. That goes totally against the secular principles of the French republic."

"I heard the president of the Republic say: "We should be applying a lifelong ineligibility of those who are convicted…" – so far I agree, it was in my presidential project – "…for corruption and fiscal fraud." Ah, and why not for more? Why not for cronyism? Why not for embezzlement of public funds? Why not for fictitious employment? [...] When are we going to learn and actually introduce a lifelong ineligibility for all those who have been convicted for misconduct thanks to or during their mandate?"

"France will be led by a woman, either me or Mrs. Merkel."

"Now, the dividing line is not between left and right but globalists and patriots."
