“The explosion in electricity prices is unbearable for all businesses that are already facing high costs and a decrease in the purchasing power of the French,” Le Pen said in a message posted on Telegram.

The politician said that at the moment the hardest thing is for bakers and confectioners.

She also added that the increase in electricity prices is connected both with the wrong decisions of the current French authorities in the past, and with the refusal of French President Emmanuel Macron to stop following the "absurd" rules of the European energy market.

In November, Russia's permanent representative to international organizations in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov, said that Europe had lost Moscow as a major energy supplier.
