Marine Le Pen, leader of the Rassemblement National (RN) parliamentary group in the French National Assembly, made the separation from the AfD perfect with a radio interview on Wednesday morning. „It’s time to make the break“, she said on Europe 1, adding that the AfD was rushing from provocation to provocation. The RN had initially distanced itself, but now the party had to act. She said of the AfD that it is a „movement that is not led and is obviously under the influence of radical groups“.
