But this hysterical article is exactly what is wrong with 'journalism' today - a complete spin that tries to come up with very one sided sensational claims and tries too hard to paint an ideological devil on the wall.
The so called 'quote' doesn't even take into account such minor detail as that France doesn't geographically have any border with Czech Republic.
Btw. since the local media do the same he will have it very difficult in the second round to keep his mandate. Being unorthodox and politically incorrect obviously gets your character assassinated these days.

I agree about journalism being absolute shit.
And in addition to this topic, because the western establishment and media has launched their cold war part II agenda, whenever someone is critical of the EU (because it truly is a disaster for us all), is now also pro Russia according to the press. Because just being anti EU doesn't sell, and any counter arguments in favor of the EU that matter simply do not exist. So they turn to the old boogyman, and brand anyone who is anti EU all of a sudden as pro Russia. And then they go on about Russia, intentionally ignoring the topic at hand (the EU and everything that is wrong with it).
