French far-right leader Marine Le Pen said she thought the “OK” sign was a “trivial gesture” when posing with a white ethnonationalist.
Marine Le Pen, leader of the French far-right party National Rally, denied knowing that the hand sign she made in a recent photo with a white nationalist Estonian politician is associated with white supremacy.
Recently, the New Zealand mosque shootings suspect, who killed 51 Muslims in a racist terror attack, made the sign in a court appearance. His manifesto was laden with references to 4chan internet culture. According to ERR, Estonia’s public broadcaster, Le Pen was in Tallinn on Tuesday to meet with Kaalep’s party and other nationalist-conservative parties in a bid to set up a new group in the European Parliament. There are European parliamentary elections later in May.
Kaalep has appeared on the white supremacist website Counter Currents, founded by the American racist Greg Johnson. One of Kaalep's posts on the website is text from his speech to the white ethnonationalist"Awakening Conference" in Finland in 2018.
