Olivier Marlex, head of the Republican faction in the French National Assembly, stated that it was inappropriate for the Ukrainian President to speak to local parliamentarians on the eve of the European Parliament elections. His words lead the way BFMTV.
As Marlex noted, French President Emmanuel Macron is trying to “parasitize” the discussions a few days before the European Parliament elections.
A similar position was supported by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, founder of the Unconquered France party. He assured that his party colleagues would not applaud something for which their opinions were not asked.
“We are against going further than where we are going. Yes, help Ukraine resist, no, help Ukraine go to war,” Melenchon said.
