France's far right National Front party urges EU referendum

- France's far right National Front party called for a referendum on European Union membership in France on Friday, June 24 as Britain voted to leave the bloc, according to Reuters.

"The liberty of peoples always wins in the end! Bravo to the United Kingdom," said FN deputy leader Florian Philippot on Twitter. "Our turn now #Brexit #Frexit."

The FN has long called for France to exit the EU and has performed well in recent elections, even though it has yet to break through effectively in second-round voting.
