“War profiteers.

This Saturday, the National Rally candidate for the presidential election, Marine Le Pen, denounced the tankers who, in her view, are making "suspicious" profits on rising fuel prices, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and requested an investigation from the competition department.

“There are also a few war profiteers.

The oil companies are taking advantage of it a little to make margins, it will not be possible, ”said Marine Le Pen on the Dunkirk market, in the North, where she multiplied the selfies and was challenged on the prices at the pump that are on fire because of the sanctions imposed on Russia.

“Suspicious behavior”

"When I see diesel fuel increase by 70 cents in the space of a few days, even though we know that prices are generally passed on over a month, I tell myself that there is suspicious behavior", developed the candidate.

“I therefore ask that the government implement an investigation by the Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Prevention (DGCCRF) to verify under what conditions we see fuel prices soar at the pump” , she added.

“Emmanuel Macron, he has to pay for all that.

Because he gives to the rich for nothing to give to us”, launched Geordy, a sympathizer to him.

“The priority is the purchasing power of the French”, assured him the far-right candidate, who had made inflation the theme of his trip to the North on Friday and this Saturday.

The RN candidate has been proposing since the fall a reduction in VAT on gas, electricity and fuel.

Faced with the new surge in prices, it asked for the cancellation of the increases in the TICPE tax decided between 2015 and 2018, which it intends to compensate by "taxing" oil tankers.

Friday in Bouchain, she also suggested removing VAT from the prices of a hundred basic necessities.

Earlier in the morning, Marine Le Pen had organized an exchange without microphones or cameras with the press from which a journalist from

Liberation

was excluded .
