Marine Le Pen, leader of the French far right, the second largest party in parliament, which is now in opposition to Macron.

It is significant to remind you, Le Pen is one of the most pro-Russian politicians in Europe. She has repeatedly supported the annexation of Crimea and pro-Kremlin narratives, advocated the lifting of sanctions on Russia, advocated leaving NATO and called for thinking about the “end of the European Union” (quote), and most importantly, the Kremlin, through its proxy banks, financed Le’s election campaign in 2014 Pen, allocating €11 million.
