Leader of the parliamentary faction of the French National Unity party Marine Le Pen believes that the assassination attempt on the former US President Donald Trump reflects the atmosphere of violence that has settled in Western countries.
„The attempted assassination of Donald Trump, who miraculously escaped unharmed, is a dramatic reflection of the violence undermining our democracies. I wish him a speedy recovery. My thoughts are with the Republican activists who are victims of this madness,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Words in support of Trump were also spoken by the leader of the “National Union” Jordan Bardella. He called such acts of violence unacceptable.
