LE PEN: Reminded of his PAST with PUTIN, and this is how his SECURITY STAFF reacts

The press conference of the leader of the French ultra-right, Marine Le Pen, has left an unusual moment. It only lasted a few seconds, but it stunned a room full of journalists. An activist has taken out a heart-shaped banner with a photo of Le Pen and Russian President Vladimir Putin together during their meeting in 2017. Without saying any proclamation, the National Rally candidate's escorts have quelled the protest attempt by dragging the activist out of the conference. In front of the cameras of the French media BFMTV, she declared that she "wanted to highlight the fact that Le Pen's diplomacy has been complacent with dictators". Just a few weeks ago, Le Pen's team destroyed graphic evidence of the candidate's ties with the Russian president to avoid discrediting her in the race for the Elysee. Although she has condemned the war in Ukraine, Le Pen is haunted by her past: she received financial support from a Russian bank in 2014 and has praised Putin's figure on several occasions.
