France is now a net contributor to the EU budget of £ 11.22 billion, a Frexit activist warned last night. He said it was time for France to “take back control”, channeling the British Brexit campaign to leave Brussels.
“We are going to pay 40 billion euros (£ 34.54) more than what we will receive for the famous stimulus package.
“Despite this, France still has to endure the diktat of Brussels for its economic policy!
“Let’s take control! ”
French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire had planned to present the Bercy plan at the end of January but the European Commission has revoked the project.

She continued: “The next step will be to bring NextGenerationEU to life in each of your countries.
The Commission chief admitted that “we are not yet where we would like to be in the fight against the virus”, adding that the EU’s new HERA incubator will serve as an additional tool to come out of the pandemic.

“All countries, large and small, across our continent will recover from this health crisis together.
“In every capital, in every government and parliament on our continent.
“In other words: Europe needs all of you, all of us. Europe will be what we want it to be.
“So let’s all get to work. ”
