“I think that something bigger is behind these actions — a strategy aimed at building a wall between the EU and Russia. Judging by my experience of working in the European Parliament, I know that the EU is waging a cold war against Russia,” she said.
Le Pen’s statement comes in the wake of the news that some European countries, including France, were considering kicking out Russian diplomats or recalling their ambassadors from Moscow after British Prime Minister Theresa May accused Russia of wrongdoing.
Russia has firmly rejected the accusations and has offered assistance in the investigation. However, Moscow’s request for samples of the chemical substance used to poison Skripal was denied. In response to the UK expulsion of Russian diplomats, Moscow has expelled UK diplomats and ordered the British Council to stop close their doors in Russia.
The leader of the FN said she was “surprised” that “Britain was so convinced” about the responsibility of Russia in the poisoning case of the former Russian spy.
“Justice is quick in Britain because within the space of a few days, we determine who is guilty,” she noted with sarcasm.
The precedent of the alleged weapons of mass destruction wielded by former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein “must push us to be cautious,” she added.
“An investigation must take place. And until now it has not happened,” explained Le Pen.
The member for Pas-de-Calais found the statements by British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson “utterly outrageous” after he “drew a parallel between Vladimir Putin and Adolf Hitler”. Johnson has compared the World Cup in Russia with the Berlin Olympics in 1936 under Hitler.
According to Le Pen, “the interest of France is to continue to have relations with Russia and even (to) deepen these”. She also questioned the French motive for joining in on the side of the UK. “What hostile act has Russia committed against France?” she asked.
Several representatives of the FN, including vice-president Louis Aliot, went to Moscow on March 18 to observe the presidential election, at the invitation of the Russian authorities.
The Front National congratulated Vladimir Putin for his re-election and hailed “the stability and democratic anchoring” of Russia. “This broad electoral success confirms the stability and democratic anchoring of Russia, it reflects the will of the Russian people to continue on the path of reforms initiated by President Putin,” the party said in a statement.
This election must “especially lead the European Union to review its copy and put an end to its absurd and counterproductive policy of blackmail, threats and sanctions,” said the FN. “We must stop seeing Russia as an adversary and renew dialogue with an indispensable ally in the war against terrorism and the common enemy of the Islamic State,” the Front National added.
Other FN members, including Gilbert Collard were also invited to observe the election, as well as deputies Bruno Bilde, Ludovic Pajot and Bruno Gollnisch.

NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s
CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.
European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections
EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems.

The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide
Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.
Strong Confidence in German AfD
Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.
