Le Pen Party Sparks Furore with 'Turn Off Tap' to Ukraine Call
Edouard Philippe and other rivals accused the far-right party of serving Russia after Louis Aliot said France would stop funding Ukraine.
- On Thursday, Rassemblement National vice president Louis Aliot told BFMTV that France would "turn off the tap" to Ukraine if the party came to power, sparking political furore on Friday.
- Aliot justified the position by arguing that the healthcare and education systems are "stretched to the limit," despite persistent accusations that the National Rally remains pro-Moscow.
- Europe Minister Benjamin Haddad called the party a "party of capitulation," while rival Edouard Philippe wrote that "turning off the tap to Ukraine is serving Russia."
- Marine Le Pen countered by noting that Philippe hosted Dmitry Medvedev in Havre in 2019, while President Emmanuel Macron welcomed President Vladimir Putin that same year.
- Polls project the party is on course to win the first round of the presidential race, setting up a potential tight runoff battle against Philippe if he qualifies.
