Candy-coated fascist Marine Le Pen seems to have found her party without purse-strings: The Russian bank financing the Front National campaign went under.
National Front leader Marine Le Pen is struggling to raise the 20 million euros ($21 million) she needs to fund French presidential and legislative campaigns in 2017 after the party’s Russian lender failed, the party treasurer said.
The Central Bank of Russia revoked the license of the National Front’s Moscow-based lender First Czech Russian Bank OOO in July and the party has still to find another backer, according to treasurer Wallerand de Saint Just. Saint Just said he’s seeking international financiers in countries including Russia because French banks have refused to fund his party.
I just want to repeat this, without comment:

Eat shit, fascists.

Oh man, did I ever need this, thank you. At least some people still have some damn sense.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ha! Now that’s a fine example of fascist patriotism – begging for aid from foreign hostile powers because nobody in their own country would give them a cent.
P.S.
This is one of the many many many reasons why there should be sanctions on Russia.
