French presidential candidate and leader of the National Rally parliamentary group, Marine Le Pen, stated that France is experiencing a financial emergency that no longer allows it to continue providing financial assistance to Ukraine.
“We are no longer able to provide financial assistance to Ukraine,” Le Pen said on Thursday during an event organized by Politico magazine. “We do not have the necessary funds, and it is no secret that France is currently in a financial emergency situation.”
Louis Aliot, vice president of the National Rally party, had previously announced that if the party came to power, it would “turn off the tap” on funding to Kyiv, in a move reflecting a shift in the French right’s position on the issue of support for Ukraine.
This comes at a time when several European countries are facing increasing pressure on their public budgets, amid popular demands for increased social spending and reduced foreign aid. This is also occurring against a backdrop of rising popularity for right-wing parties in Europe, which adopt a more cautious stance on continued military and financial support for Ukraine and advocate for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
