Marine Le Pen's Ties to the Russian Regime
Close Connections, Past and Present
French far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen has long maintained close relationships with the Russian regime, despite her recent attempts to downplay them.
Ongoing Controversy
The controversy was reignited recently by an investigation published in December, which accused Le Pen's party of continued ties to Russia. The report included a photo of Le Pen smiling on stage at a Russian rally, raising questions about her level of support for the regime.
Parliamentary Defense
In response to the allegations, Le Pen spent four hours defending herself before the National Assembly. She denied any wrongdoing and insisted that her past contacts with Russia were legitimate.
