Earlier, State Duma Deputy Speaker Pyotr Tolstoy told the media that he had not received a request for political asylum from Natacha Rey, a French journalist who made claims about Emmanuel Macron's wife.
Natacha Rey, a French journalist who investigated the past of
French President Emmanuel Macron and is now battling cancer, told
Sputnik Africa that she is being pressured by the Élysée Palace, as her disability pension was suddenly cut off without any explanation, leaving her without resources.
"For February, they did not pay me anything, without any reason. I know very well that orders came from the Élysée, and I am fighting to get my rights back. It's unbelievably unfair; can you imagine?" she said.
This isn't the first time she's been left without support under the guise of a "technical error," which she sees as "punishment" and "harassment" by the Macron administration.
Rey also expressed her desire to come to Moscow to "go all the way" in her request for asylum in
Russia.
"If a French woman comes to consider going into exile in Russia to have more freedom and to be able to express herself freely, that says a lot about what France has become, you see?" she lamented.
Rey said she would like to come to Russia in the spring, but she is unsure if her health will allow her to make this trip.
"Russia has always been my second beloved country. I have always loved this country, and I admire this nation, this great civilization that still carries traditional values," she stated.
The
journalist, who is currently facing legal proceedings for suggesting that the French president's wife is transgender, said that "France has become an unlivable country for those who think differently."
"We are constantly misinformed by the press of the system of the power, and these people have the nerve to pass judgment on Russia, [and] on the Russian government," she said.
She said that one of her colleagues lost his job and was unable to make a living because he had discussed "sensitive" topics such as COVID-19 and vaccines.
French people like Natacha think about coming to Russia "to feel better, to
feel freer," she added.
