Marine Le Pen promises Frexit referendum if elected president of France

The leader of France's far-right National Front set the tone for her campaign for the French presidency on Saturday, calling to fight an Islamist "offensive" and promising to hold a nationwide referendum on European Union membership if she is elected next spring.

At a rally in a small eastern village, Marine Le Pen focused on her favourite issues, such as national sovereignty, immigration control, Islamism and what she calls "savage globalisation".
