Kremlin press secretary’s daughter scores internship with right-wing European Parliament member

Yelizaveta Peskova, the daughter of Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov, has found work as an intern in the European Parliament. The television channel Current Time discovered her position on February 25.

Peskova is registered as an intern in the office of the French deputy Aymeric Chauprade, a former member of France’s National Front party who has since joined an independent group of right-wing populist politicians in the European Parliament. Chauprade himself confirmed that Peskova worked in his office, saying that although she is “the daughter of an important Russian figure,” she has as much right to an internship as any other student.
