In brief
The French politician predicts unfair competition and reduced agricultural funding if Ukraine joins the bloc.
Marine Le Pen says Ukraine's possible accession to the European Union would harm French farmers, according to an October 8 report by UNIAN about her post on X.
She argued that Ukrainian producers would expose French farmers to unfair competition and that funding for France's agricultural sector under the EU's Common Agricultural Policy would fall substantially.
These were Le Pen's predictions about possible future membership. The UNIAN report did not include a numerical estimate of losses or cite an EU decision to cut that funding.
