“Navalny died because he opposed your friend Putin,” complained Justice Minister Éric Dupond-Moretti this Friday in response to the leader of the National Rally.
Impact also on French political life. This Friday, February 16, Justice Minister Éric Dupond-Moretti attacked the leader of Rassemblement National (RN), Jordan Bardella, whose party is accused of having significant links with Russian power, after he paid tribute to Alexei Navalny and died in his prison in the Arctic, according to authorities.
“Navalny died because he opposed your friend Putin. Keep your crocodile tears. They were born before shame,” the minister claimed on the social network opponents of Vladimir Putin.
“drive belt”
A large survey took place at the beginning of February, carried out by the Washington Post emphasized in particular the ongoing ties between the RN and the Kremlin with the aim of weakening France's support for Ukraine. Sébastien Chenu, a lawmaker from the far-right party, then condemned “totally false” accusations against France 2.
As early as 2023, the party was accused of being a “transmission belt” of Russian power, according to the conclusions of the parliamentary commission of inquiry into foreign interference.
The Russian authorities have provided few details about the death process of the political opponent, limiting themselves to a press release to ensure that they did everything possible to revive this man, whose health was weakened by his poisoning and his imprisonment, after a faint.
