France's Economy Minister Emmanuel Macron has warned that Thursday's British referendum on E.U. membership risks undoing the entire European Union, by setting off a chain reaction across the continent.

In an interview with TIME, Macron said: "You can suddenly have a series of countries waking up and saying, 'I want the same status as the Brits,' which will be de facto the dismantling of the rest of Europe.
