FRENCH ELECTIONS NOT VERY DEMOCRATIC - RUSSIA: Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov takes swipe at French elections (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/39001?single) designed to "manipulate will of voters", comments on how left-wing and centrist candidates withdrew their candidacy (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/39225?single) to sabotage potential victory of National Rally.
"The second round it seems was intended to precisely to manipulate the will of the voters. When some candidates can withdraw their candidacies, they are persuaded to the pave the possibility of defeating, as they say, conservatives, populists this does not very much resemble democracy" - Lavrov exposes France's dEmOcRaTiC circus in video above (Stoltenberg should take notes).

Lavrov describes how French elections could have resulted in "serious changes" if they were based on 1st round where National Rally, which opposes Paris's "irresponsible" supply of weapons to Kiev, (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/23935) “wiped out” incumbent Macron’s coalition.
