PARIS — France's far-right National Rally wants to get rid of the European Commission, scrap the Common Agricultural Policy, and set strict new guidelines for the parts of the EU that are left.

Party chief Marine Le Pen set out her program for the European Parliament election at an event in Strasbourg on Monday, but rowed back from earlier calls for France to abandon the euro and to quit the EU altogether. Both had been key features of Le Pen's stump speeches.

Instead, she said the National Rally (formerly the National Front) wants to "save Europe from the European Union that is destroying it," and called for a "European alliance of nations" to take decision-making away from Brussels. At the launch event, Jordan Bardella, the party's 23-year-old lead candidate in the election, said he wants a Europe "that is more Athenian democracy than Brussels technocracy."

Le Pen did not say why she no longer favors a "Frexit," but she has continued to laud the supposed benefits that Brexit has brought to the United Kingdom.

"Since #Brexit, the national wealth of the United Kingdom has outperformed that of the eurozone, their unemployment rate is at its lowest, they created twice as many jobs as in France and salaries have increased since the end of mass immigration!" Le Pen tweeted on Saturday.

While maintaining that the euro mainly "serves the interests of Germany," the National Rally's election program acknowledges people's desire to keep the single currency. However, it wants to change the way the European Central Bank works in order to "align monetary creation with the real economy instead of finance" and add "fighting unemployment" to the ECB's mandate.

Calling the way the EU functions "opaque, undemocratic and punitive," the party wants to scrap the European Commission and its "28 commissioners who weren't democratically elected, its president drunk on power" and transfer its powers to the European Council and a modified European Parliament. Le Pen's party called to "redefine the role of the Parliament so that it serves nations and not be the registration chamber of the Commission” and let Parliament "be in charge of examining and debating and voting on all treaties, texts and directives proposed by the Council of heads of state.”

The National Rally also wants to reinstate national borders and reinforce controls of Europe's external borders, transforming Frontex — the EU's border and coast guard agency — from a "migrant hosting agency" to overseeing a "border policy ... that prevents illegal immigration."

The electoral program also calls for Europe to have "good neighborly relations" with Russia and Turkey, while "freeing itself of external influence ... from America."

According to POLITICO's polling, the National Rally is on course to win 21 seats in May's election, just one seat behind President Emmanuel Macron's La République En Marche.
