The European embargo on Russian oil “is a stupid and harmful sanction for the French people”, according to Marine Le Pen, RN deputy for Pas-de-Calais, and candidate for re-election, guest of franceinfo on Tuesday June 7. Last week, the EU agreed to a gradual embargo on Russian oil arriving by ship by the end of the year.
Marine Le Pen says she would not have signed it. “Emmanuel Macron will create a tariff shield that he will make the middle classes pay for”, she assures. For the former far-right presidential candidate, the tariff shield put in place by Emmanuel Macron and renewed for the next few months “is only a temporary measure”.
“Russian oil will be sold to others”and more expensive, “so in reality Russia is going to be richer because of these sanctions”still denounces Marine Le Pen. “In reality, Russia will be delighted”, she assures. Marine Le Pen recalls that India “had dramatically increased its oil purchases” Russian.
But isn’t it a matter of morality to impose an embargo on Russian oil? “It’s stupidity”replies Marine Le Pen “which does not take into account the very difficult situation of the French”. “Me, I attach myself to the daily life of the French. Their life is very difficult”she denounces again.
