French Presidential Candidate Eric Zemmour Calls for Lifting Sanctions on RUSSIA

French presidential candidate, journalist and writer Eric Zemmour, who founded the Reconquest (Reconquête) party, advocated the lifting of European sanctions against Russia. He stated this on the air of France 5 TV channel.

“I think that France could show friendly signals towards Russia, for example, by lifting the sanctions . If I were president, I would say that there will be no more sanctions against Russia,” Zemmur said (quoted by RIA Novosti).

He also stressed that France must stop being a "tool" of the United States , which sets up European countries against Russia. As soon as there is some kind of rapprochement between Russia and European countries, the United States tries to separate them, Zemmour noted.

For example, Democratic Senator Robert Menendez and fellow party member Congressman Gregory Meeks have proposed sanctions against the Russian leadership, including President Vladimir Putin, financial institutions, the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, and Russian public debt.
