France crisis lack of Fish! Vonderleyen blocked France from fishing in the UK, angry Macron threatened to retaliate against the EU and UK.
Frexiteer Charles-Henri Gallois claims EMMANUEL MACRON's threats to the UK over fishing rights after Brexit.
The French president has been involved in a diplomatic row with Britain over French ships' post-Brexit fishing rights in UK waters. A French government spokesman said this week France is preparing retaliatory measures over the fishing incident with Britain - which could be implemented as soon as next week.
But Generation Frexit leader Charles-Henri Gallois thinks Macron's efforts should be directed at the EU - as he defends Britain's adoption of a Brexit trade deal with the bloc.
Macron turned his attack on the EU for not helping France in its fishing war in the UK.
"The agreement stipulates that you are only allowed to fish in UK waters if you have fished between 2012 and 2016. A lot of the French fleet is under 12 meters high and there is no recording system. to prove that they fished during those years, so it makes perfect sense for their vessels not to be accepted by the British, but Macron has been furiously arguing these past few days in hopes of winning a victory.
.
France is crying out, as its position is not considered by the EU in the negotiation process.
"But French fishermen face the same problems as British fishermen because now European ships are banned from UK waters, they are all fishing in French waters. .
Boris is being appreciated for this action, he is making the French pay for his threatening action.
"And if France were outside the EU and French waters were only available to French fishermen, they wouldn't have to go to the UK.
"There are simply not enough fish for everyone in French waters right now.
Macron turns to blame the EU for Brexit is causing the French to lack fish to catch.
France has been furious about the number of permits its fishermen have been granted by Britain to fish in British waters after Brexit.
Moreover, many EU fishing boats come to fish in their waters when they are banned by the UK. It leaves France with a severe fish shortage and will quickly deplete the fish resources in their waters.
Speaking from the port of Boulogne-sur-Mer, French fisherman Laurent Merlin said they were "frequently in a state of anxiety and anger".
In a major warning to the UK, he told the BBC: "We are waiting until Friday, and then we will start organizing ourselves to attack.
“We will create as much disruption as possible, by blocking out what the UK needs most.
“We have seen the impact of the lack of gas; we'll try to create another shortage of something else.
"We're ready to block everything: Calais, Dunkirk, the Channel Tunnel. We need this fishing permit and we'll do anything to get it."
This comes after France's European Minister Clement Beaune warned EU member states were preparing to announce measures to pressure Britain to comply with the terms of the Brexit deal. But soon the French encountered a rejection from the 16 member states of the EU and Vonderleyen ordered France to stop. This is a painful slap for the French, Macron turns to blame the EU for abandoning them.
