DODIK: I SUPPORT MARINE LE PEN, I CONDEMN ABUSE OF JUSTICE

BANJA LUKA, MARCH 31 /SRNA/ - The President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik supported the French opposition politician Marine Le Pen and strongly condemned the abuse of the judiciary to deal with political opponents.

Dodik emphasized that he supports Le Pen's commitment to strengthening the sovereignty of peoples and states, as well as her advocacy for the protection of traditional Christian and family values.

"I support her because she belongs to leaders who draw their strength from the support of the people.

I support her resistance to globalism. That is why I strongly condemn the abuse of the judiciary to deal with political opponents," Dodik posted on the X network.

He pointed out that he believes in the strength of Marine Le Pen and her final victory.

A court in France has convicted National Rally leader Marine Le Pen to suspended sentence of four years in jail, finding her guilty of embezzling public funds.

In addition, Le Pen is barred from holding public office for the next five years, making it impossible for her to run in the 2027 French presidential election.
