La Grande Marine LePen…
She is not yet in the office, yet her words are the words of a great independent leader
The Journalist: Would you leave EU?
LePen: EU would make the “divorce” very difficult. Blackmail didn’t work project “fear” didn’t work
The Journalist: So you think that UK will get a good deal.
LePen: the deal for Great Britain will be great because it is for an independent country led by its own interest, and will not be constrained by the EU ideologies which stops countries from defending themselves from uncontrolled globalism.
The Journalist: Do you think the West misunderstood Putin?
LePen: US armed more and more countries towards Russian border and Russia felt it like a hostility. Ukraine is part of Russia’s sphere of influence, it’s a fact. just as Canada is part of US sphere of influence. If you want to say that Russia is a danger to Europe, I think you are wrong.
The Journalist: What would be your commitments to NATO?
LePen: I agree with Trump, NATO is obsolete. NATO was created to defend against Soviet Union and Soviet Union does not exist anymore. Today there is Russia that does not deserve to be treated with prejudice. It hasn’t led any campaign against European countries or US, just defended its sphere of influence.
The Journalist: Did Putin do more good or bad to the world?
LePen: First we have to ask if Putin did more good or harm to Russia, and Russia is going in the right direction, resurrected its economy, his governance is popular (appreciated)…
This was 7 years ago, yet, sounds like it was yesterday.
