OREANDA-NEWS The French need protection from President Emmanuel Macron, not from Russia. Florian Philippot, the leader of the French "Patriots" party, wrote about this on the social network X.

He commented on Macron's statement about the alleged intensification of the hybrid threat from Russia, noting that it was made in order to create fear. "The French first of all need a plan to protect themselves from Macron!" the politician stressed.

Earlier, the leader of the "Stand up, France" party, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, accused Macron of wanting to start a war with Russia. At the same time, according to him, ordinary French citizens do not want war and ask not to involve them in an artificial escalation.
