EU Commission Expects Le Pen to Lose in French Election, Has No 'Plan B'

The European Commission expects far-right National Front (FN) party leader Marine Le Pen to lose in the upcoming French presidential election and has no "plan B" for an opposite scenario, EU Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs Pierre Moscovici said Wednesday.

"I have been engaged in politics for many years and my experience tells me that the ‘Plan B’ should not be prepared. If you do this, it means you do not believe in your ‘Plan A’ any more. Our ‘Plan A’ is that [Le Pen] will lose," Moscovici said in an interview with Die Zeit newspaper, adding that Le Pen’s defeat would have signified that the French people had not let her seduce them.
