“We expect the president to pick up his phone” to call Vladimir Putin, assures the RN spokesperson

Guest of “8h30 franceinfo”, Laurent Jacobelli believes that “To make peace, you have to talk to your enemies”.

“We expect the President of the French Republic to pick up his phone” to call Vladimir Putin, explains this Monday on franceinfo Laurent Jacobelli, spokesperson for the National Rally. The President of the United States, Joe Biden, authorized Ukraine on Sunday to use long-range missiles towards Russian territory. This is a crucial strategic change on the part of the United States, which until now has been opposed to it.

“Climbing is not a good thing. The stagnation of the war is not a good thing. The perspective we all must have is peace“, recalls Laurent Jacobelli. The National Rally has always opposed the delivery of long-range missiles to kyiv in the conflict between it and Russia.

“We are more sensitive to the call for diplomacy from President Zelensky, from Mr. Olaf Scholz. We expect the President of the French Republic to pick up his phone too“, he explains. The German Chancellor spoke by telephone with Vladimir Putin on Friday. He thus broke two years of silence.

“To make peace, you have to talk to your enemies, especially the invader, in this case Russia. The problem is that the President of the Republic's phone today is absent because no one considers him a credible interlocutor anymore because of his changes of foot, because of the result of the elections today“, deplores Laurent Jacobelli.
