Le Pen Honours Jewish, Polish Victims Of WWII In Warsaw | Nayi Khabar

Warsaw, Dec 3 (AP) French far-right leader Marine Le Pen paid her respects to Jewish and Polish victims of World World II on Friday, on the eve of a Warsaw gathering of right-wing European party leaders that she will attend. Saturday's meeting will be hosted by Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the leader of Poland's conservative nationalist ruling party, Law and Justice. Scheduled attendees include Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, and Polish media say the talks will focus on the future of the European Union. The gathering follows a visit by Le Pen to Budapest in October that was part of an effort by her and Orban to consolidate the European right. It also comes as both the Polish and Hungarian governments remain locked in a bitter standoff with the EU, which is withholding funds to both countries over democratic backsliding in Warsaw and Budapest. Kaczynski's welcome of Le Pen marks a recent change for Poland's ruling conservatives, who had long refused to cooperate with her due to her warm relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin a sensitive topic in a country long dominated by Russian and Soviet rule..
