Marine Le Pen on Sunday urged
Beppe Grillo's anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) to start
cooperating with her far-right, Euroskeptic Front National (FN),
which is poised to be France's top party in the European
elections.
Grillo is extremely critical of the European Union and
wants a referendum on whether Italy should stop having the euro
as it currency.
But his Internet-based M5S has so far spurned links to
other Euroskeptic parties, unlike Italy's regionalist,
anti-immigrant Northern League, which has opened up a
partnership with the FN.
"Join us," Le Pen said in response to a question from ANSA
about what she had to say to Grillo's movement.
"Everyone who is in favour of liberty and independence and
against the European Union must join us.
"The European Union must give back what it has stolen, with
weakness, cowardice and betrayal by the European elite. It must
give back sovereignty to the people. We have to build another
Europe".
