 "France would see Brexit as irreversible: Francois Hollande")
France would see Britain's exit from the European Union (EU) as irreversible if the Leave camp wins Thursday's referendum, President Francois Hollande said.
"It is the future of the EU that is at stake," Hollande said on Wednesday warning that a Brexit would put Britain at a very serious risk of losing access to the bloc's single market.
Hollande was speaking at a joint news conference with Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, whose country will take over the EU's rotating presidency on July 1.
"Brexit would necessarily have extremely serious consequences. France would consider such a decision, as the UK's departure from the EU, and this would be irreversible," Hollande said.
