Fillon (none / 0)

This just in: François Fillon, the former Prime Minister of French president Nicolas Sarkozy between 2007 and 2012, who was running as the "Les Républicains" party candidate for the 2017 French presidential election, has resigned his two directorships at Russian companies Sibur and Zarubeshneft.

Re: Fillon (none / 0)

That decision must have cost him dearly.
Some say Fillon is pro-Russian; in France we know he is pro-money.

The blood-letting on the left is going to be completely horrifying.
