Crisis on the Paris-Washington Line: Ambassador Kushner Denied Access to French Government

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot made an unprecedented political decision to immediately and firmly suspend official access to members of the national government for the controversial American representative. Charles Kushner, serving as the trusted ambassador of the United States in Paris, provoked a firm reaction from the European ally after he ignored an official summons to appear at the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, commonly and historically known as Quai d'Orsay. According to official assurances from the MFA, this sanction was imposed substantively and is valid only until reliable explanations are provided by the American mission itself. The serious reputational crisis is slightly mitigated by press reports indicating that the decision-makers held a longer conversation via a secure line on Tuesday, and a proper face-to-face meeting will take place within the next few hours of working consultations. The bone of diplomatic contention remains the undeniable American assessments that violently interfered in French politics following the fatal actions of assailants who murdered the recognizable right-wing activist Quentin Deranque. „La non-ingérence dans les affaires intérieures d'un État est une norme que les États-Unis décident d'ignorer.” (Non-interference in the internal affairs of a State is a norm that the United States decides to ignore.) — RFI 4 ugrupowania — extremist organizations designated for urgent and broad delegalization along the Seine The global clash does not diminish the enormous and violent fever observed by the public in France. The country's president, Emmanuel Macron, firmly criticized the multiplying political violence, casting a difficult-to-erase and ominous shadow over the spring procedures ahead of the local elections. The administration ministry launched an official offensive against domestic extremism of partisan militias. Law enforcement authorities published legal documentation opening a path to the delegalization of radical groups: three classified as far-right (ultra-droite) and structures suspected of illegally reconstituting the previously dissolved ultra-left group Jeune Garde. The misconduct of the American entity expands the concerns of the entire European panel of old alliance players. Supporters of the new administration in Washington, employed even in Brussels and Poland, are similarly demolishing the previously established rhythm of continental cooperation with hostility. Doctrinal international law, permanently based on the framework of the 1961 Vienna Convention, categorically and without exception prohibits any actions by a foreign mission that could interfere in the factions, divisions, and internal affairs of the nations hosting the diplomatic unit. Extreme incidents raise loud questions about the stance of radicals from all arms of the cultural debate. French LFI MP Jean-Luc Mélenchon drew sharp worldwide criticism for sidelining journalists from television coverage during party meetings, which the Reporters Without Borders panel unequivocally branded as 'an open violation of the public's right to multi-source information'. Tensions are spreading to other cities, exemplified by a brutal mortar attack on an election meeting in Poissy, which injured several people, heightening the atmosphere of fear ahead of the upcoming elections. The tense stream of disputes, murders, and threats of delegalization is robbing the stable, post-war formation of the French Republic of its sleep.

Perspektywy mediów: Recognition of diplomats appointed by Trump as blatant arrogant individuals violating proper procedures; loud appeal to cut funding for the extreme group of fascists in France. Very strong emphasis on the gangster-like extremism of anti-fascist formations in France; simultaneous repetition of complaints about too harsh an administrative settlement concerning the US ambassador.
