“You know that our legislation provides for the leading role of the president in determining the country's foreign policy.

The heads of the subjects cannot be engaged in foreign policy, moreover, they do not form foreign policy, do not make any decisions, ”said Peskov.

He noted that "it is necessary to focus on the line that is formed by the head of state."

Earlier, Macron expressed the idea of ​​the need to "free Islam in France from foreign influence" and tighten control over the financing of mosques in the country.

This was his reaction to the assassination of a French history teacher who showed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.

After the murder of the teacher, the French leader also said that the republic would not refuse to publish cartoons.

Kadyrov criticized the words of Macron.

The head of Chechnya called on the French leader, "while it is not too late, to stop provocations and attacks on faith."

“Supporting provocations, he covertly calls on Muslims to commit crimes,” Kadyrov noted.

The Mufti of Chechnya Salakh-Khadzhi Mezhiev, commenting on Macron's position, said that the French president is "the number 1 terrorist in the world."
