Talk:Mark Francois

message: With such a foreign (to English eyes) appearing surname, is there an accepted pronunciation for it? (Thinking one he prefers to be referred to by.)Cloptonson (talk) 21:45, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: His name has been in the news recently and I have heard journalists pronounce it along French or quasi-French lines, commonly as , but fortunately we have this video (see 9 seconds in) of him introducing himself. In his pronunciation it is more anglicised, as , so I have added this to the article. Beorhtwulf (talk) 16:46, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I was incredulous when I saw that strange pronunciation, but on the basis of that video, you're absolutely right! Flapdragon (talk) 16:12, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

message: The guy is an Italian citizen whether he likes it or not, by automatic operation of law. Anyone with a parent who is an Italian citizen is themselves automatically an Italian citizen. See Italian nationality law.
It has been correctly pointed out that he does not seem to have publicly asserted his Italian citizenship or a desire to have an Italian passport, so I have no objection to the deletion on these grounds, as his citizenship is impossible to verify without original research and we don't know if he has an Italian passport. But it remains a fact that he is an Italian citizen, regardless of whether he has a passport.
I would, however, contest that his dual citizenship is quite relevant in light of his Eurosceptic views - especially in light of these views. He campaigns strongly for UK citizens to lose their rights in the EU despite the fact that he can keep these rights himself.
Have a nice day all.

message: The ECR group in the European Parliament was created as an offshoot of the EPP with the position of being “anti-federalism” however, this doesn’t make a duality of the EPP being federalist. The EPP has never made a resolution in support of federalism so I have referred the adjective from the article Jo Jc Jo (talk) 11:23, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
