A sentence that made Benjamin Haddad jump. This comes from an interview given by Jordan Bardella to Parisian this Sunday. “On the international scene, Emmanuel Macron has considerably damaged the voice of France”crushed the boss of the RN, provoking the anger of the Minister Delegate in charge of Europe.
In the process, Benjamin Haddad released a first message on X. “Pro-Putin before being pro-Ukraine, Trumpist inviting himself to CPAC (American conservative political gathering, Editor’s note) before fleeing it and requesting the use of the anti-coercion instrument against the USA, Jordan Bardella gives us lessons in diplomatic coherence. No thanks”he said.
Jordan Bardella responded by publishing an old photo of the minister. We see him there, a beer in hand, in an establishment decorated with an American flag, and above all wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap. Enough to leave Benjamin Haddad incredulous. “Is that your answer?” A cap worn second-hand at a school party with friends 10 years ago? »he said, visibly annoyed. Before adding: “My position is unambiguous, known and constant. You are the enemy of France’s interests. I have always defended our independence. »
“When your deputies validated Putin’s bogus referendum to annex Crimea in 2014, I was on Maidan Square to support young freedom-loving Ukrainians”continued the minister. “While you invited Steve Bannon in your meetings, I wrote that the Europeans must develop their strategic autonomy and no longer depend on the Americans”he wrote again. And to add: “When you lay down in front of the strongmen and called for Frexit, in 2019 I wrote a book calling for European sovereignty in the face of Trump. »
Several elected officials from the National Rally were in turn invited to this parade. Among them, the deputy Jean-Philippe Tanguy did not spare the Minister for Europe. “You are literally a former Atlanticist mercenary working to ‘energize U.S. preeminence and influence in the world.’ Literally”he said, taking up the biography of Benjamin Haddad published on the website of the Atlantic Council think tank, for which the latter worked before entering politics under the Macronist label.
