NANTERRE/PARIS (Reuters) - French far-right leader Marine Le Pen accused banks on Wednesday of closing accounts that belong to her and her party, saying she has been the victim of a "banking fatwa" meant to silence her National Front.

The 49-year-old is smarting from defeat in presidential and parliamentary elections this year, during which she already accused French banks of being politically biased for not giving loans to finance her campaigns.

"This is an attempt to suffocate an opposition party and no democrat should accept that," Le Pen told a news conference, calling on President Emmanuel Macron and other political parties to back the National Front.

The anti-Christ NWO globalist cabal goes against anyone standing in their way, I believe they got blindsided by President Trump and praying believers,

They’ll never let that happen again,

We battle not against flesh and blood.

On a side note: Macron is full-on creepy evil,

They're tarred as "far-right" in every media source on two continents. They're often branded "anti-semitic", but that doesn't distinguish them from any recent leaders of France. If they had an economic program proposal that would capture the common imagination, they'd have a shot, but such a proposal would have to be satisfactory to the strike-happy French unions, IOW, such a proposal doesn't exist. And short of a civil war, France isn't going to get rid of their muzzie infestation. Thanks Petrosius.
