The leader of the far-right National Rally party faction in the French parliament, Marine Le Pen, said the referendum on Crimea’s reunification with the Russian Federation was legitimate and fully reflected the opinion of the people.
“I fully support the referendum, I believe that the people of Crimea freely expressed their will by voting for reunification with Russia,” RIA Novosti quotes Le Pen.
According to the French right-wing leader, during her trip to Crimea a few years ago, she convinced herself that the people there have a “much deeper bond with Russia”.
Earlier, Marine Le Pen called on Western countries to recognize the truth about the Russian Federation. She said it was a geopolitical mistake to impose sanctions against the Russian Federation.
