In particular, Barrot commented on Mélenchon’s statement that possible territorial concessions in the Donbas should be agreed upon with local residents.
He simply acted as a spokesman for the Kremlin. Throughout the world, the Kremlin is trying to convince heads of state and government that the Donbas is supposedly Russian, and that the war of aggression is a war to liberate the Donbas
He emphasized that Mélenchon’s statement was "unprecedentedly serious" and "ultimately proves that he is unfit for the position he is seeking".
Recall
The party of French far-left presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon published an election program proposing that the country leave NATO and nationalize some defense companies.
