A self proclaimed nationalist ready to accept money from a foreign country😅. How is he gonna brag about it in front of his supporters??
They are just like the French far right, they only want power to give the super rich tax cuts and screw is all over!
No doubt he should be under arrest, plus he’s so vile and blatant about it. These people don’t serve the citizens, they serve their wallets and their donors.
Excellent investigative journalism, by the way.
Bravo!
Another one of putins european far right partys
