Speaking on Radio 4, the unnamed man vowed to back the Front National candidate because of her promise to give France a say on its membership with the European Union. He claimed he was fed up having been fed pro-EU “propaganda” throughout his childhood. The man was speaking as French presidential favourite, Emmanuel Macron, told a rally of 30,000 people in Paris on Monday that Ms Le Pen is “anti-France”.

The centrist frontrunner told the mass crowd ahead of the final vote this weekend: “I will fight up until the very last second not only against her programme but also her idea of what constitutes democracy and the French Republic.” However, as the campaign trail turned nasty, Mr Macron’s words seemed to leave a sour taste with some voters who fear his pro-EU stance will interlink France even further with the Brussels club. Speaking on the Today programme, the young voter explained why he was now backing Ms Le Pen in favour of her rival.

He thundered: “I was born in 1991, a year later Maastricht was signed. “We’ve had the massive propaganda since our childhood. The last great [decision] France made was in 2003 when we chose not to go to war in Iraq. “Since then, we are not an independent country again.” Meanwhile, Ms Le Pen used her May Day campaign to tear into Mr Macron, telling her supporters he is “just Francois Hollande who wants to stay and who is hanging on to power like a barnacle".

She once again called for France to reclaim its “independence” from the European project, vowing to be the “president who protects” French citizens. However, the Front National candidate will have her work cut out in order to over turn a predicted victory for Mr Macron following Sunday's vote. Opinion polls suggest a win for the centrist by between 59 and 61 percent of the vote, but Ms Le Pen’s camp believes success is achievable if she gets her strategy spot on.
