The leader of the National Rally group at the Palais Bourbon defended herself from any "Russian tropism" during her four-hour hearing by the parliamentary commission of inquiry into foreign interference. At the center of the discussions, a loan of 9.4 million euros contracted with a Czech-Russian bank by the RN.
Marine Le Pen assured that, if elected in 2027, she would ban foreign loans for political parties. She promised the creation of a "bank of democracy" to help parties finance their electoral campaigns.
