Sarah Knafo, a French Member of Parliament (MP) and Vice President of the Europe of Sovereign Nations Group (ENS), has voiced concerns over the European Parliament's push for a digital euro. In an X post dated February 11, 2025, she said that increasing numbers of Europeans are "embracing Bitcoin" and expressed her opposition to the digital euro initiative.
"Want to understand why more and more Europeans are embracing Bitcoin," said Knafo, MP for Reconquête. "Here's what the European Parliament wants us to adopt today: the advancement of the digital euro. No one is talking about it, yet this ECB project could soon give a European bureaucrat the power to block certain transactions or even exclude us from the banking system with a single click—just for something we say on social media or for holding an opinion they don't like. As a MEP representing the interests of the French people, I am voting AGAINST."
According to Knafo, the proposed digital euro could allow "European bureaucrats" to block transactions or exclude individuals from the banking system based on personal opinions or actions. She emphasized her vote against it, stating her commitment to "representing the interests of the French people."
