Russia’s Links With Europe’s Right
Posted by Info on 14/12/2014
Moscow is handing cash to the Front National and others in order to exploit popular dissent against the European Union.
The French Front National’s leader, Marine Le Pen, makes no secret of her admiration for Putin; her party has links to senior Kremlin figures includingDmitry Rogozin, now Russia’s deputy prime minister, who in 2005 ran an anti-immigrant campaign under the slogan “Clean Up Moscow’s Trash”.
Le Pen defended her decision to take the Kremlin money, complaining that she had been refused her access to capital: “What is scandalous here is that the French banks are not lending.”
