EU has no 'Plan B' if French voters deliver upset

The European Union has no special plan if the two anti-EU candidates, Marine Le Len and Jean-Luc Melenchon, reach the final round of France's presidential election on Sunday, diplomats said.

Even without a shock outcome, Brussels worries that neither of the more mainstream candidates, Emmanuel Macron and Francois Fillon, can revive France's economy or help Germany confront doubts about the EU's future if they are victorious in a May run-off.

"If Marine Le Pen wins the election, the European Union as we know it ceases to exist," said one senior EU diplomat who formerly served in Paris of the far-right leader who threatens to leave the EU without a quick renegotiation.

"Then we have to think about other models ... There is no Plan B," the diplomat said.

"The city is shivering inside," the diplomat said of Brussels.
Diplomats insisted there was no plan if Ms Le Pen and Mr Melenchon of the far-left go into the 7 May run-off.
