Марин Ле Пен о Крыме
Mar. 19th, 2014 02:09 pmBut for her part, Le Pen voiced sympathy for Russia, even if it opts to annex the territory after Sunday’s result.
"Crimea is not like the rest of the country … it is very closely linked to Russia,” she said, adding: “We have to take account of the history of Crimea.”
"From the outset of the crisis we [the National Front] have said that Ukraine should maintain its sovereignty but allow the three main regions to have a lot of autonomy.”
She described the prospect of EU economic sanctions against Russia as "dangerous" and echoed Russian propaganda on the new authorities in Kiev.
"We should have some qualms about the new government because it was not elected … We know that there are neo-Nazis and extremists in this government,” she said.
