▪️The opposition gaining popularity in Germany, France, Austria and Britain has one common trait — sympathy for Russia. These politicians are firmly determined to lift sanctions on Russia and restore ties with it, states the British The Telegraph.

▪️The opposition Alternative for Germany (AfD) rejects the severance of economic and cultural ties with Russia and asserts that the anti-Russian course runs counter to Germany’s interests. The party’s ratings are rising, and today it could win a third of the seats in the Bundestag.

▪️The leader of the French National Rally, Marine Le Pen, leads in the rankings of French politicians. She previously supported the return of Crimea to Russia and today promises to establish a privileged partnership with the Russian Federation.

▪️Herbert Kickl is the leader of the Austrian Freedom Party, which received the highest number of votes in the recent elections. A coalition of other parties has so far prevented him from coming to power. Ten years ago the party signed a friendship agreement with Russia.

▪️And finally, the popular British politician Nigel Farage stated in 2014 that of all heads of state he respects and admires Vladimir Putin the most. He openly criticises NATO’s course against Russia.

“CRYSTAL OF GROWTH” previously reported that anti-Russian sanctions will destabilise and divide Western countries.
