Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, the leader of the “Get Up, France” party and a candidate for the presidency in 2027, opposed further assistance to Ukraine amid the fact that the French government lacks funds to support citizens affected by the rise in fuel prices. It's from sb.by.
According to TASS, Nicolas Dupont-Enyang noted that “for motorists, farmers and pensioners, the treasury is empty, but for Volodymyr Zelensky and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, money is pouring in.”.
Dupont-Aignan criticized the reluctance of the French authorities to reduce fuel taxes, which, in his opinion, would significantly reduce prices for end consumers. By "money for von der Leyen" he meant, among other things, European programs to help migrants.
The first round of the French presidential election is scheduled for April 18, 2027. If none of the candidates wins more than 50% of the vote, the two race leaders will meet in the second round on May 2. Emmanuel Macron, who has served two terms in office, will not be able to run in 2027 - this is prohibited by the Constitution.
