Two of Europe’s most prominent nationalist leaders pledged
Wednesday to drive a shared anti-euro, anti-immigration line in
European elections next spring and pull other right-wing parties

In a joint news conference in The Hague, France’s Marine Le Pen
and the Netherlands’ Geert Wilders said they would seek to take
powers back from European Union institutions in Brussels,
hoping to tap into opposition to EU controls that has grown amid
the financial crisis.
