The National Rally hardens the tone.
For years, the loan contracted by the party with a Russian bank in 2014 has fueled criticism, targeting the special ties that would be maintained with the country led by Vladimir Putin.
During the presidential campaign, the debate between the two rounds had seen Emmanuel Macron reproach Marine Le Pen for "
depending on Russian power and Mr. Putin
".
At the microphone of France Inter Thursday, September 29, the acting president, Jordan Bardella, however, expressed his annoyance.
He announces that from now on, these "
defamatory accusations
" will be systematically the subject of legal proceedings.
Was the Russian loan a "
return of the elevator in thanks for the declarations of Marine Le Pen
" in favor of power?
“
There is a little enough of this music which aims to discredit us in this way, to question our integrity, our probity
”, retorted Jordan Bardella to the journalists who questioned him on the subject.
“
All those who insinuate (this), we will condemn them
, he warned.
Everyone, without the slightest exception.

“
For several years now
, continued the MEP,
the RN has not found any bank loans from French banks and European banks.
So there is a paradox in preventing us from finding financing from French banks and reproaching ourselves for looking abroad.
According to Jordan Bardella, “
it is true that in 2015 we took out a loan from a Czech-Russian bank
”.
But it has since "
bankrupt
", "
proof
" that she was not close to Vladimir Putin.
To distance itself a little more from Russia, the deputies of the party recently asked the National Assembly to set up a parliamentary commission of inquiry.
This must relate to “
foreign interference in French political parties
”.
