The head of the French National Rally party, Jordan Bardella, opposes Ukraine's admission to the EU, since its membership poses a threat to the French agro-industrial complex. He stated this on the air of France Inter radio station.

“I do not support Ukraine’s admission to the European Union, ” he noted. “Ukraine is an agricultural country, and its accession to the EU would make it the main recipient of subsidies, which would significantly weaken France’s agricultural sovereignty.”

According to Jordan Bardell, EU enlargement will have a negative impact on its members. “I oppose any expansion of the EU in principle. Accepting new members would weaken the states that founded this community,” the politician said.

Following the results of the first day of the European Union summit, held in Brussels on December 14-15, the head of the European Council, Charles Michel, reported that the community countries had decided to begin negotiations on the accession of Ukraine and Moldova. The summit also announced the granting of candidate status to Georgia and promised to return in March 2024 to consider opening EU accession negotiations for Bosnia and Herzegovina if it fully meets all admission criteria by that time.
