I think the EU wins this round.

I'm going to be a contrarian here and predict a Le Pen victory.  I doubt this will be a socialist victory, unless you only wish to include French citizens without a complicating duel citizenship ... preferably ones with no ties to elsewhere.  She is a purification candidate, and socialism is the least aspect of what she wants to accomplish.

Watch the EU dissolve, and see the result in real time.  I doubt the NATO alliance will stand either.  Putin will be happy.
