UKIP congratulates President Macron on ‘exemplary’ decision to keep hold of France’s naval shipyards at St Nazaire.
Published Aug 02, 2017
UKIP has congratulated French President Macron for nationalising the
naval yards in St Nazaire, to prevent their being bought by Italian interests
with close ties to China. Though the yards had previously been owned by a
failing Korean company, UKIP described the President’s action as ‘an example to
us all’.
“The Italian government has condemned President Macron as having
‘sovereignist’ instincts, for wanting to prevent his country’s major naval
dockyard resources being sold to highest foreign bidder”, said UKIP interim
Leader Steve Crowther.
“It is tremendously reassuring to find that – as we get down to
negotiations with a vengeful French EU apparatchik on our future relationship
with the EU – the French are once again returning to the proud tradition of
looking out for their own national interests first.
"This has traditionally been the French way, as successive French
premiers and EU Commissioners in the past have thrown spanners into the works of
EU deals which they believe to be to their disadvantage. And rightly
so.
“This is why, deep down, we love the French. Vive La France. Vive les
souverainistes!”.
