Emmanuel Macron is “freewheeling”, believes Jordan Bardella

The head of the RN list in the Europeans was the guest of “Demain l’Europe”, Friday on franceinfo.

“Be careful when climbing“: Jordan Bardella, the president of the RN was the guest, Friday March 22, of Tomorrow Europe, Franceinfo’s meeting with the heads of the European list. Asked about Emmanuel Macron’s statements on the war in Ukraine, the head of the RN list for the European elections estimated that Emmanuel Macron is “freewheeling“.

The Head of State once again affirmed last Saturday in Le Parisien/Today in France that Western operations on the ground in Ukraine might be necessary.”at one point“. On franceinfo, Jordan Bardella judges these “extremely worrying, anxiety-provoking comments for the French“and accuses Emmanuel Macron of”play climbing“.

The president of the National Rally fears that such remarks could “contribute to a frontal war with Russia“. Jordan Bardella considers that “France’s role is to provide the necessary support to Ukraine“, but not “to send troops“.”We have no interest in going to war with a nuclear power. We must be extremely vigilant“, he warns.

The fear of an “escalation”

Jordan Bardella calls for vigilance “with the sending of offensive material which could lead to the conditions for an escalation“. He said to himself “in favor of sending defense equipment“, evoking in particular “artillery ammunition, shell ammunition, anti-tank missiles“But the RN candidate for the European elections closes the door to sending anything that could.”lead to the conditions either for cobelligerence or for an escalation which could have extremely dramatic consequences“.”Vladimir Putin must hear that there can be no negotiation and peace if he does not withdraw his troops from Ukrainee,” he adds.

Meeting in Brussels on Thursday, European leaders affirmed in a joint declaration that they wanted to move forward with a project aimed at using profits from Russia’s frozen assets in the European Union to arm Ukraine. The French MEP is in favor of this proposal, which he also claims to have “brought before the head of state [français] a few days ago, during the reception of party leaders“. Jordan Bardella says to himself “more broadly, favorable to sanctions that can work and unfavorable to sanctions that do not work“. He thus recalls his “opposition to energy sanctions against Russia“. For Jordan Bardella, “these energy sanctions have led to the conditions of energy inflation in the different countries of the European Union“.

Negotiations “with Vladimir Putin”

The president of the National Rally finally returned to the re-election of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who gathered more than 87% of the votes in a contested election. Jordan Bardella salutes “the position held by French diplomacy and the Quai d’Orsay“, calling her “Good“. He considers that France has done well to “not necessarily congratulating the election of President Putin“while taking note, because he is the representative of the Russian Federation.”If tomorrow there must be negotiations [avec l’Ukraine]they will be done with Vladimir Putin”, insists Jordan Bardella. The MEP nevertheless recognizes that Russia is not a democratic regime “Clearly“.

During the previous Russian presidential election, in 2018, Jordan Bardella warmly congratulated Vladimir Putin.for his re-election” oncollective naivety“that there was, according to him,”towards Putin’s Russia” previously. “They are trying to make us bear this responsibility to the right or to the National Rally, but the first foreign president to have been received in 2017 by Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles [était] Vladimir Poutine“, he says.
