In a conversation held a few days before the elections, Macron warned Netanyahu that Chikli’s actions, which were openly and blatantly aimed at assisting Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally party, constituted “unacceptable” interference in France’s internal affairs.
An Israeli official who is involved in contacts between the two countries described Chikli’s behavior as “a diplomatic bomb” and a number of other diplomats who spoke with Haaretz said Chikli hurt relations with France.
I stand corrected, thanks!
It seems like an issue then that English Wikipedia seems to adhere to the FN version of its own history. :/
Most of us frenchies tend to forget the outer world exists, and we’re usually much more active on the french wikipedia pages than the global ones - especially for topics such as details regarding our political parties. Even in French newspapers it’s often implied that JM Le Pen was the sole founder of the FN.
