French parliamentarian: Energy war with Russia is a stupid and short-sighted policy

The head of the National Rally Party bloc in the French Parliament, Marine Le Pen, considered that the energy war with Russia at a time when France cuts electricity and demands to stop the heating is a stupid and short-sighted policy.

Russia Today website quoted Le Pen as saying in an interview with RTL radio today: “It is not permissible to conduct an energy war against Russia at a time when we suffer from energy shortage,” describing that as a stupid matter.

Le Pen added the sanctions currently imposed on Russia have more serious consequences for the French people.

Commenting on the plan to cut off the power supply scheduled in France during the current winter, Le Pen said that this is the result of a short-sighted policy of the French authorities, adding: “We live in the twenty-first century and we are the sixth economy in the world, yet the authorities explain to us that we are going back to the stone age because we will not have electricity, and because we have to live with a great reduction in heating because the French can no longer afford it.”

Yesterday, the European Commission presented another package of sanctions against Russia, including nearly 200 individuals and legal entities, three banks, four television channels and defense industry companies.
