the manipulation of the RN turned against him – Liberation

Some Russian dolls arouse admiration with their elegant intricacy. Nothing of the sort with Marine Le Pen, whose party is described as “drive belt” and of “direct relay of the official Russian discourse” in the report of the parliamentary commission of inquiry into foreign interference, which was voted on Thursday by its members. 218 pages, a work of five months for 29 deputies, under the chairmanship of an RN parliamentarian in addition, and whose conclusions could be consulted by Release before being made public in the coming days.

Our journalists did not find any new revelations there, so long has the relationship been documented “privileged” between the National Rally and the Kremlin. “Frightened” by the conclusions, an RN member of this commission denounced a report “off topic which does not deal with interference, but with the international policy of the National Rally”, but isn’t it in fact the same thing? Marine Le Pen herself denounced at a press conference “a political trial”, but isn’t she the main instigator? This commission of inquiry was requested and chaired by his own group to try to counter the accusations of influence from Moscow of which he was the subject. The commission of inquiry requested by the RN was to focus on possible “foreign interference” in all political parties and therefore dilute the accusations, defense So do all fairly standard in politics.

Less classic is having to justify yourself before your own commission of inquiry, whose report was written by a Renaissance deputy, Constance Le Grip. Two days after the disastrous exit of Emmanuel Macron against his Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, he could allow the presidential party to reposition itself opportunely as an opponent of the RN, after so much time spent normalizing it.
