   and welcome to The Cube, Euronews' fact-checking show. We've had Brexit, but what about Frexit? A number of social media posts are claiming that Marine Le Pen, the far-right candidate in France's 2027 presidential election, is promising a referendum on the country's EU membership if she wins the keys to the Élysée Palace next year. The posts, primarily in Spanish, provide no further detail, and that's our first clue that the claims are false. Le Pen is not calling for a Frexit referendum if she becomes president. It is true that the national rallied politician is a harsh critic of the EU, and she did indeed want to champion the idea of a vote to leave the bloc. She celebrated the Brexit result in 2016, and made leaving the EU and giving up the euro two of her flagship proposals in her 2012 and 2017 presidential campaigns. But she's since abandoned the idea, shifting instead to wanting to radically reform the EU from within, stripping Brussels of most of its power and transforming it into a loose alliance of nations. Even if Le Pen did become president and held a Frexit referendum, she'd be unlikely to win. A study by Pew Research earlier this year showed that support for the EU in France has risen from 38% in 2016 to 52% in 2026. A YouGov poll from late 2025, meanwhile, found that 49% of French people would vote to remain in the EU against 27% who would vote to leave. Le Pen, who's currently leading in the polls, has indeed suggested putting other issues to a public vote if she wins the presidency next year. These include a referendum on combating so-called Islamist ideologies, such as banning wearing the veil in public, and a vote on amending France's constitution to curb immigration.
