Stating that the Russian economy is not on the verge of bankruptcy as the European Union countries claim, Le Pen said, “Contrary to the inflated claims, you need a great bad faith to understand that the Russian economy is not on its knees . “

Le Pen’s statements resonated not only in France but throughout Europe. While the British newspapers gave wide coverage to the remarkable words, the harshest reaction to Le Pen came from the French Minister Agnes Pannier-Runacher.

“THE FIRST PERSON TO SELL FRANCE TO RUSSIA FOR A PLATE OF LENTILS”

Stating that the statement in question was “incredibly dangerous” and “irresponsible” , the minister said, “Le Pen may be proud to present himself as the most patriotic politician, but in fact he is the first person to be ready to sell France to Russia for a plate of lentils . “

VOICES AGAINST SANCTIONS BEGAN TO RISE

You can’t change that all at once, you don’t have an equivalent facility. Economic sanctions will hit Europe more than Russia.” It does too much damage.” used the phrases.

EU critic and Frexiteer Eric Noirez also claimed that a major financial crisis awaited the EU due to the sanctions and said that “the European Union shot itself in the foot” .
