Spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry comments on Macron's planned statement on Wednesday evening
RIA Novosti, Moscow, October 08 - Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, commented on French President Emmanuel Macron's planned statement on the evening of October 08.
Zakharova wrote on Telegram: "Did Russia's 'shadow fleet' cost you your position?"
Previously, the left-wing party "France Insoumise" submitted a motion to the parliament to initiate the impeachment procedure against the president, which will be discussed on October 08. The resolution on removing the president has been co-signed by 104 left-wing MPs from different political parties. In the National Assembly, which has 577 seats, the number of signatories is close to one fifth of the total number of MPs.
The discussion of this impeachment motion comes amid a renewed escalation of political instability in France. Previously, Prime Minister Sebastien Fillon resigned after only 27 days in office, plunging the country into an unprecedented political crisis in decades. In this context, calls for the president to resign have also increased.
