Le Pen’s opposition to energy sanctions on Russia.
The French presidential candidate said in an interview on Tuesday that she was opposed to sanctions on Russia over energy exports.
French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen said in an interview on Tuesday that he opposed the imposition of sanctions on Russia over energy exports, and that France would have to pay a heavy price for the restrictions.
Le Pen said in an interview that she was not opposed to Russian sanctions on other sectors of the economy.
“I am here to defend the interests of the French people,” she told a French radio station. “I oppose energy sanctions because I do not want the French people to face the consequences of such a decision.”
Le Pen’s remarks come as some have claimed that Le Pen is a “Russian Trojan horse” given his stance on Russia.
“I am not a Trojan horse,” she said in response to the allegations. She said she supported anti-Russian sanctions that were not related to the energy sector.
