Prague: The European Union is a “disaster” and a “danger” for Europe that has no place in its future, leaders of far-right European parties said at a gathering in Prague. They also vowed to develop cooperation outside the EU structures, reports RT.

“Because we love Europe, we accuse the EU of killing Europe,” the leader of the French National Front, Marine Le Pen, told reporters at congress of European right-wing parties in the Czech capital, Prague. She also advocated the establishment of a new sort of union, which she defined as a “Europe of sovereign nations.”

“We are not xenophobes, we are opponents of the European Union,” she said. “I think this is something we have in common, because the European Union is a disastrous organization which is leading our continent to destruction through dilution by drowning it in migrants, by the negation of our respective countries, by the draining of our diversity.”

Her words were echoed by Geert Wilders, the leader of the Dutch anti-Islam and anti-immigrant Party for Freedom (PVV), who also called the EU an “existential threat” for European nation states.

“My party is convinced that the Netherlands would be better off outside the European Union, and it will be better for our economy, for our security,” Wilders said. He also once again called for putting an end to mass immigration into Europe and said that the European countries should follow the example of US President Donald Trump on this issue by imposing travel bans to restrict the inflow of migrants and even by building walls.
