“She wants to let the Ukrainians be killed”: Gabriel Attal’s charge against Marine Le Pen

The National Rally (RN) seems to be reconnecting with its old Eurosceptic demons.

After announcing, during the presentation of its counter-budget, that the party would cut the French contribution to the European budget by 11 billion euros, the nationalists intend to “maintain aid to Ukraine for six months”, before “turning off the tap”.

“Marine Le Pen has never pretended to want to support the Ukrainians,” tackled her Renaissance rival, Gabriel Attal, on Franceinfo this Thursday.

Since Wednesday, the four-time presidential candidate has been traveling to Brussels to discuss with her allies the new European budget (2028-2034).

It was on this occasion that she revealed her vision.

“We will stop providing financial assistance because we no longer have the means to do so,” she explained.

The proposal provoked the ire of Gabriel Attal, who dreams of building “the United States of Europe”.

“We know that she wants to let the Ukrainians be killed, that poses absolutely no problem for her,” said the candidate who is stagnating at 11% in the latest Odoxa-Backbone poll for Public Senate and the regional press.

“It’s for our defense”
