Leader of French Patriots party accuses authorities of lies

Macron and his government are serving not the French people but the US government, leader of France's Eurosceptic party The Patriots, Florian Philippot said, according to Report.

He said the country is currently facing a number of social problems, including contraversial pension reform that sparked a wave of protests and strikes in most economic sectors. France is going through crisis in healthcare, high inflation, growth in prices of food and energy.

"During the year, France has already spent about 8.5 billion euros on Ukraine - both in money and in weapons. This is a very large amount for one year. And then the French authorities say that they have no money for pensions, no money for the healthcare system , no money for hospitals and so on," Philippot said.
