"It was said that dictatorships were stronger than democracies. It turned out the other way round: we inoculated and revived the economy. Then in 2022, some people said that Ukraine would not finish the month. Heroically, it is holding out to defend its freedom and ours,"said Hayer.
"I'm proud of the talent at my side. They are farmers, lawyers, firefighters, diplomats, local councillors and journalists. Faced with lists of fickleness, rehashing and opportunism, we are united by the same ideal: Europe. Europe makes France greater, and France makes Europe greater."
The European elections in France are scheduled to be held on 9 June, as citizens will head to the polls to elect 81 MEPs.
