Frexit, Now or Never

Nicolas Dupont-Aignan is once again selling the old sovereignist remedy: get France out of the EU as fast as possible, restore borders, and bring the French legal order back to the center. The pitch is familiar, but the timing is harsher now, because it lands in a France that looks more anxious about money, sovereignty, and control than about institutional loyalty.

His argument is not really about Brussels as a symbol. It is about a state that still pretends to govern itself while many of its levers run through systems built elsewhere — the euro, EU rules, shared markets, and the compromises that come with them. Dupont-Aignan presents exit as recovery: not a tantrum, but a reset toward “free nations” that cooperate without being absorbed.

That is why the far right and the sovereignist right keep finding the same vocabulary even when they do not fully share the same program. One camp talks about immigration, another about monetary control, but both are selling the same emotional product: the promise that France can still take back the steering wheel.

The harder question is what happens if the steering wheel is all that is left. If the state is already stretched by debt, energy costs, and political fragmentation, then Frexit stops being a pure ideological fantasy and becomes a test of whether sovereignty can be reclaimed without breaking the machine it is supposed to save.
