Marine Le Pen, leader of the populist anti-EU party, confirmed after a media leak that it had borrowed €9 million ($12.8m) in September from the Russian-owned First Czech-Russian Bank. She said French and other Western banks had refused finance for the National Front, which is France’s most popular party according to the opinion polls. “We signed with the First (bank) who agreed and we’re very happy about it,” she said. She insisted it was “ridiculous to suggest that gaining a loan would determine our international position”.

The leader of Austria’s right-wing Freedom Party (FPÖ), Heinz-Christian Strache, is in Moscow for a discussion on “overcoming the crisis in Europe”.

This comes amid speculation as to whether the FPÖ might have received financial support from Russia, after a Moscow strategy paper seen by German media revealed that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been advised to influence Europe through right-wing populist parties including Alternativ für Deutschland (AfD).
