The French company Total sued Yannick Jadot for defamation on Wednesday March 23. The environmental candidate for the presidential election had accused the group, which maintained its activities in Russia, of complicity in war crimes.
The pressure is intensifying on the French groups which continue their activities in Russia. Presidential candidate Yannick Jadot has accused Total of being an accomplice in war crimes. The oil group filed a complaint for defamation against the environmentalist, in the morning of Wednesday, March 23. Yannick Jadot persisted in the afternoon: “Total discredits France”.
“This allows Yannick Jadot to put his program at the forefront, especially when talking about ecology”analyzes Hugo Capelli, journalist in the political service of franceinfo. “It is also an important blow for him. In the polls, he is quite far from Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who believes that the group should stay in Russia. This shows voters that there are many differences between these two candidates”concludes the journalist.
