France has become a victim of the Sanctions of the European Union against Russia, whereas for Moscow they turned only to win. About this, the leader of the French movement “National Association” Marin Le Pen stated in an interview with BFM TV channel.
Le Pen noted that the agricultural sector of the Russian economy especially won from the introduction of sanctions. According to her, there are no valid reasons for the sanctions against Russia. “We can cancel these sanctions that had the effect opposite to which we expected, and restore normal relationships,” politician said.
The candidate for the upcoming presidential elections also declared the desire to change the balance in France relations with Russia and the United States. According to Le Pen, Paris needs to develop a “sovereign” and its own special approach to relations with two powers.
Earlier, the Government of Great Britain made the introduction of sanctions against the North Stream-2 gas pipeline due to the situation around the forced landing of the Irish Ryanair Loadoster in Minsk and the detaining on board the creator of the Telegram channel NEXTA Roman Protasevich.
