“Macron no longer has a choice: He must pick up the phone and call Putin”
Rassemblement National spokesman, Laurent Jacobelli, calls on the French president to “talk to his enemies”.
“To make peace, you have to talk to your enemies”, says Laurent Jacobelli in an interview with Franceinfo. He continues: “We expect the President of the French Republic to pick up the phone," by which he means to call Vladimir Putin.
According to him, by authorizing Kiev to use long-range missiles aimed at Russian soil, outgoing President Joe Biden has changed the nature of the conflict. "Escalation is not a good thing. Stalemate is not a good thing. The perspective we must all have is peace," insists Laurent Jacobelli.
“No one considers Emmanuel Macron a credible interlocutor any more”
"We are more sensitive to President Zelensky's and Olaf Scholz's call for diplomacy. We expect the President of the French Republic to pick up the phone too," he stresses, while the German Chancellor was in talks with the Russian President earlier this week.
