Members of the French parliament said on Saturday they had asked the speaker of the lower house of the legislature to set up a commission of inquiry to look into allegations of Russian funding of political parties.

In a letter to Speaker Yael Braun-Pivet, which was shared with reporters, MPs said the move was prompted by the latest US intelligence report that Russia had paid hundreds of millions of euros to fund foreign political parties "with the aim of influence the election".

Tetë deputetët, të cilët i përkasin partisë En Marche të presidentit francez Emmanuel Macron, përmendën gjithashtu faktin se partia e ekstremit të djathtë Bashkimi Kombëtare e drejtuar nga Marine Le Pen është ende duke shlyer një kredi të dhënë nga bankat ruse.

"Këto fakte sugjerojnë qartë një vullnet rus për të ndërhyrë në debatin publik francez. Ato e bëjnë të nevojshme ngritjen e një komisioni hetimor për të përcaktuar nëse partitë politike franceze - dhe cilat prej tyre - kanë përfituar nga financimi rus," shkruajnë deputetët.

Citing declassified intelligence, a senior Biden administration official said on September 13 that the United States expects Russia to increasingly use covert political funding in the coming months to undermine international sanctions over the war in Ukraine and maintain Moscow's influence abroad./VOA
