It is reported that the French diplomat was summoned in protest against "discriminatory and frankly Russophobic actions of representatives of the French authorities" as part of the Grand Twenty summit in India. It is a refusal to admit to the press conference of French President Emmanuel Macron to representatives of Russian media "RIA Novosti" and "Russia-News".
"On the Russian side, fundamental assessments are given by the unfriendly acts of Paris, which in a scary way violate the fundamental principle of freedom of the press and prevent its representatives from doing their work," the Foreign Ministry said. The department also claim that the French organizers refused to apologize for their actions.
On September 10, the Russian Foreign Ministry representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that the editor-in-chief of "Russia-News" Catherine Nadolskaya was refused admission to the President of France in New Delhi. Maria Zakharova called the event "discrimination" and "racist trick of the macron team". According to her, the reason for the refusal is that "the journalist represents the Russian media.
" "We are considering what happened, as a flashy manifestation of racism and aggressive nationalism, since the incident is based on an act of discrimination on a national basis. We demand an apology from the Elisha Palace to the media representative," Zakharova howl. The network also appeared on the phone video of a conversation of a Russian journalist with the guard of the event.
We will remind that according to the media of September 13, President of France Emmanuel Macron realized that he was mistaken when he said that the head of the Kremlin Vladimir Putin needed to "keep his face". Now the French leader has a more serious mood to support Ukraine. Earlier, on September 7, we reported that the French official told details of the negotiations on the final communique of the G-20 summit. According to him, officials from China have softened the position on Ukraine.
