Asked about the war in Ukraine, the RN president also repeated that he would refuse to send French soldiers to Ukrainian soil if he became Prime Minister after the election.
The president of the National Rally, Jordan Bardella, assured Thursday June 27 that he would not let “Russian imperialism absorbs an allied state like Ukraine” during the debate on France 2 before the first round of the legislative elections, on June 30. Asked about the war in Ukraine, he also repeated that he would refuse the sending of French soldiers to Ukrainian soil if he became Prime Minister after the legislative elections, in reference to the comments of Emmanuel Macron who has several times mentioned this hypothesis.
“My position is very simple on this conflict (…) It has never changed. It is one of support for Ukraine and avoiding an escalation with Russia which is, I remind you, a nuclear power,” did he declare. “I am opposed to sending long-range missiles which would put us in a position of co-belligerence. continued Jordan Bardella.
The First Secretary of the PS, Olivier Faure, who represents the New Popular Front, also excluded sending ground troops, which he described as “Red line”. “This story is not just that of Ukrainians, it is also ours. This border is also that of freedom. (…) This is why we must support the Ukrainians.” Olivier Faure also said. Prime Minister Gabriel Attal has warned against the consequences of a Ukrainian defeat: “inflation that would explode”, “an energy bill that would explode further”, “a migratory wave”.
“When we fight for Ukraine, we fight to defend our values and also our daily lives,” said Gabriel Attal, who also reacted to the comments of Marine Le Pen, who mentioned on Wednesday that the title of “Army chief” of the President of the Republic is “honorary”in the event of cohabitation. “Lhe message sent by Marine Le Pen is clear, if the RN were to win this election, there would be a form of dispute between the Prime Minister and the President of the Republic to know who would have the role of head of the armies, it is a very serious message for the security of the French”said Gabriel Attal.
