Le Pen says he would guide France out of EU
Jean-Marie Le Pen says he will guide France out of the EU if he is elected president.
He says he is the candidate of the French people and they voted for him to overturn the political system.
He calls his clash against Jacques Chirac a fight between the "candidate of the French people and the candidate of the system".
He told reporters: "We are witnessing the end of a cycle that spurned a decadent and corrupt system."
Mr Le Pen added: "The French think they are electing a president, but they are wrong, they are electing a kind of governor" who answers to Brussels.
He then pledged to bring a halt to the immigration into France. "This constant foreign immigration will - if a barrier is not erected - eventually submerge our country," he said.
Mr Le Pen believes his success in qualifying for the May 5 run-off against incumbent President Jacques Chirac shows French voters want radical change.
As thousands of protesters took to the streets across France to denounce his success, Le Pen, flanked by eight bodyguards, appealed for calm. "Change must be carried out peacefully," he said.
Le Pen accused his opponents of "fuelling civil disorder" by appealing to the people to rally against him.
But when asked if he had softened his normally fiery tone to appeal to a broader electorate, Le Pen said: "I held myself back during the campaign, but now I am really looking forward" to confronting Chirac. "I will not disappoint you," he added.
