Ukraine remains at the heart of the presidential campaign this Saturday. Several demonstrations against the war led by Russia are planned in France. Ecologist Yannick Jadot and socialist Anne Hidalgo have announced their participation.
The leader of the presidential party LREM Stanislas Guérini also called on Saturday morning to participate in the demonstration in Paris, to “show our total solidarity with the Ukrainian people”, adding that France would continue to welcome refugees and “deliver weapons” to Ukraine.
“Complicity” of certain companies
On the same line as the executive, Anne Hidalgo for her part advocated on France 2 “unity” and “the delivery of weapons to Ukraine as what is being done today because what is being played out in Ukraine today it is also our freedom in Europe”.
Yannick Jadot, who met the Ukrainian ambassador to France, Oleg Shamshur, on Friday evening, promised to maintain mobilization and support for the Ukrainian people. He also intends to continue to denounce “the complicity” of companies which, like Total, continue their activities in Russia.
Marine Le Pen opposed to the delivery of arms
Questioned during a trip on Saturday morning to Grau-du-Roi in the Gard, Marine Le Pen for her part reiterated her opposition to the delivery of weapons, believing that “it is adding weapons to the war”.
“It is on diplomacy that we must bet everything” and “think about sanctions but which I say must not result in the economic collapse of our own country”, she affirmed without further clarification.
