The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova stated that the verdict on the leader of the National Rally Party Marin Le Pen was another "clean" of the political territory by European ruling circles.
Earlier, the French Court sentenced Le Pen to a ban on five years.
"It seems that the ruling circles in Europe, trying to turn the EU into a military block with Russia, have become more zealous to clean their own political territory," Zakharova said in a briefing.
He drew attention to the fact that Le Pen was "only one of the circles of political persecution, massacres and repression of the massacres and repression."
